In other words, she wants other people to write the book for her. And take credit for work done by other people e.g. community groups. So lazy, What value does she think she’s adding here exactly?

I had my first child in 1992. It was a thing back then. I was breast feeding 3 under 2 at the time and you could exchange the vouchers for milk (and sometimes other basics at the discretion of the shop owner) and we also got vitamins via old fashioned paper vouchers.
Mine gets wiped periodically, though I never wear it round my neckWait...there are people out there who wash their work lanyards?? I need to up my game clearly
repeated as I stuffed it up last time
the scarey posts on the other thread frightened me
She signed the contract for this book well into lockdown, I think around mayo time? Right before BLM, because that was when the book briefly changed to 'Jack tells poor black people's stories' before this horrendous idea was (silently) abandoned.
With a September deadline? Her publishers are as unprofessional as she is...

Can we add “inventor of Healthy Start Vouchers (aged 18)” to her list of jobs too please. Give the woman some credit, I was out getting pissed at 18, she’s clearly been a life long campaigner. Mind you the idea came from Jack at a meeting (says her ex girlfriend) so she may have only been 16/17 when she had the idea.
Jesus duck. This woman is a shambles. Who labels themselves as 'former foodbank user'. 'Big mad' lol. twit.
Is she stocked in supermarkets? I haven't seen any on any of the supermarkets I go to. Lots of JO and DW though."I’m back and I’m big bleeping mad" ..... because I still don't know my adverbs, despite being rated ..... "86th out of 5000 odd".

didn’t the cat do a whoopsie in his beret?
When I was in housing, we had a house handed back that had had nothing done to it since the 1960s. Had the tenant been found dead in it instead of dying a fully documented death of old age in hospital, it would no doubt have been headlines about the state of the house and our fault. They had refused double glazing, insulation, heating, new kitchen, new bathroom etc, all with no cost to themselves. There is a very limited area in which you can force help on people if they don't want it
She speaks like a super twee Millennial.
Henlo, I did a thing today! I am such a Hufflepuff! I am adulting and doing alll the things... please send some heckin woofers and catto pics over *glomps*
(I say this as a Millennial... if you can't roast yourself, how the hell you gunna roast someone else)

That cat is better at the piano than twit!
No they didn't!! What a load of horse tit!!!
My daughter (10 years post doc and scraping a living in academia - currently on a 50% post but working full time ) would love to know where those companies are too!
Back? BACK? WHERE IS SHE BACK FROM?Please, for the love of God, stop.
If I roll my eyes any harder I'm gonna fall over
How old exactly would JM have BEEN in 2006? This is all maddening

If the Healthy Start scheme was rolled out in 2006, there’s no way Jack was involved. I wonder if she told Louisa she was? Although I’d expect Louisa to know better, given her line of work.
And Henry D only says that Jack explained the scheme to him.
What’s going on?
Her blurb is excruciatingly cringey. I still haven’t watched her singing on YouTube as the gormless twatting-about introduction sent me straight to sound off and close page.Someone really needs to tell her that in order to be respected as somebody
with the authority and credentials to speak on a topic, it takes more effort than changing your Twitter bio to suit
She really does just alter that to align with her current agenda each time. It's actually very immature.
And like her unnecessary blurb she gives when introducing herself each time - just because you say these things Jack, does not mean you are them.
Such BS!
I've been ruminating about R Jackie's book and it hasn't been a fun afternoon.
In February this year I was called to a capability to work face to face interview. I thought it odd, as I am so close to retirement age, but it was a requirement so had to go through it.
With hindsight, the worst part of the whole process was reading other people's experiences and horror stories online. It made the whole situation almost unbearable in the run up to the interview. I was almost sick with worry about the trick questions they said the use, the secret cameras that they watch you with outside on the pavement, the disdain and contempt with which they treat you. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I told the truth, backed up with reports and letters from my various consultants and healthcare practitioners. They were indeed dispassionate, just writing down my responses to their questions without any reaction. The person carrying out my interview was difficult to read, but I just told the truth there were no trick questions, but if there had been, as I was honest they wouldn't have caught me out.
Where I am going with this diatribe is, this awful book of unsubstantiated accounts of horrific treatment by DWP could dissuades someone from applying for benefits they are entitled to. They may well consider it not worth applying as they will be treated badly.
If she continues with this book, which will contain nothing that isn't available elsewhere on the internet and other books, then she will have blood on her hands.
