So she's admitting that her 'case studies' are simply googled newspaper articles which she just plans to regurgitate in blind faith, then. Great stuff, such research.

So... She's just cobbling together other people's articles and research to pass off as a book under her name then? Righty ho...
So shes rehashing the world already done ny other journos and passing it off as new?
In the voice of the M&S ad 'this is not just poverty, this is Extreme poverty' as only mackie experienced ever!
IF she’s smacked her face on the sink and tap, I would imagine the possibility of concussion or facial Fractures is real, and would require a once over, but as she hasn’t experienced a nose bleed etc I am not convinced.
frozen mash? 3 kgs goes a long way
Her "research" is just taking stories from the Guardian website. If she wasn't so lazy and did some "research" of her own she might realise the facts paint a much more nuanced picture than an article from a paper with a political agenda. Christ, she's thick.
Personally I'd stick to first person accounts. If I was writing this book.
I don't think she's writing anything other than pish tweets.
It's all just timeline filler. What's your favourite lunch. What's your favourite song. What's your favourite poem. What's your favourite suicide caused by poverty. What's your favourite JACK MONROE.

Literally... what is the point of your book then, Dear Heart?
I'd trust a Guardian article a hell of a lot more than her book. There are papers out there with considerably worse political agendas too...
“Doctor, how are you verifying this life threatening illness”?
“Well the patients have been checked over thoroughly by other doctors before they came to me, so I’d imagine they done their due diligence..”
or
“Chef, how do you know that steak is cooked?”
“well it’s likely been checked thoroughly by the cooks further up the line, so I’d imagine they done their due diligence...”
The Monroe attitude to life and work all there in one Tweet, “well, someone else should have done it. Can I get paid yet?..”
Shocking.
If the stories have already been covered extensively in the press, what does she expect to achieve by covering them again?
Oh yes. Self aggrandisement.
Maybe not eating enough beans?"Not quite as on fire as usual"
Right, let’s see. Ooh, I could have ‘plagiarism’ on a triple word score there.....oh, sorry Fraus, just playing scrabble and didn’t see you there.
Hopefully Frances Ryan will be getting paid.
These pages are moving so fast I can't keep up!!!
Be careful you don’t trip over your foot and hit your head!
Whatever did happen to all that mash?
I don't know why she doesn't just cook a big batch of something like a stew or pasta and take it to the local food bank and sit down and chat to the people using it, perhaps ask one of her friends " if they could drive her to one a bit further away so she could get a narrative from different places.
That would be my plan if I had to research this book.

I'm actually really pissed off, because (and I've said this before) whichever cause she chooses to glom herself onto she ends up harming, to a greater or lesser degree. So for example, yesterday she tweeted that quite a lot of her book would be about UBI - something that people have done years of research into and which now, finally, has the possibility of becoming a reality. I can't begin to imagine how damaging her ill-formed and poorly-researched claims will be - manna from heaven from those who oppose it, she could realistically set back the fight for it quite considerably.
Can I go for a sandwich and a piss?Be careful you don’t trip over your foot and hit your head!
Will you please duck off. I’m BUSY!
