I think the reason that Jack was so manic over her “potatoes” drivel is she sees it as a way back to the big time.
Her career was in the up when the UKs economy was in the shitter. The guardian lapped up her cockney urchin act and she was treated like a pet by the wealthy, left wing set. Trips to The Ivy and Grouchos were a regular occurrence. But as the economy improved Jack wasn’t as in demand.

You can almost see her salivating that we are heading for a mega recession. Millions of people will be poor and she will be held aloft as a beacon to them all. Slops galore and she can pontificate from her shitty bungalow.

begging on Patreon when she has commissioned work she could be doing is a new low even for R Jackie.

This is so, so true

It's a shame she's not tweeting to check in on your friends as there will be mass redundancies occurring the next few weeks, maybe she will with an aff link to buy them one of her books to help them through...

Of course Jack is going to make an effort to be friendly with Primrose Hill's Jamie Klingler. There's something in it for her - she's involved in the media, publishing and events.

Didn't everyone get their first home stuff from Argos if they were lucky enough to buy as opposed to all second hand? Especially if you were nowhere near an Ikea! The cheapest homeware and a jumble of furniture still made it feel like home, it doesn't matter where it came from.
Yep, we had Denby on our wedding list, but that was pretty much it. Plus some little bits from Argos so that people didn't feel obliged to spend much. My dress was only £60 though, and I made the 3 tier cake, as I didn't want anything too showy.
It did take us to our 40s to actually splash out on decent wooden matching furniture though, even then I struggled to justify the cost.
Still don't live in a fancy detached house though

This is one of the problems I have with JM. Other people would dearly love to have some nice things, but they cut their cloth according to what they can afford. JM on the other hand has to have designer items which are not necessary if she is on a tight budget.

I have a theory I wonder if Hellmans gave her a paycut due to how badly it went. I mean she didn't pull very good numbers did she?? Hopefully they didn't but why is she soo a few weeks after paying job??

Does anyone remember the bullshit game in How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days?

Well then call me Matthew Mcconaughy because that is a humongous steaming pile of bull SHIT

Can't wait to see her latest book which will essentially be an almagamation of every single Guardian article and blog she's ever written.
