I'm in my late 40s, I've been a single mum (I say been because I'm not one anymore because they are grown up themselves now!)

I have been homeless, gone without food gas and electric had to make questionable choices, she needs to really be quiet and let people like Mark Rushford do the talking, I actually can't quite believe how much she has got under my skin ITS NOT OK I am a grown woman this really shouldn't be making me this mad!!

I do wonder, however, if the reason she's getting to me so much is because had social media existed when I was a lot younger, I'm pretty sure I'd have had my moments and maybe I'm sort of third party embarrassed, if that makes any sense?

I think with JM, it's rather like when you do a painting when you're younger in art, you know you should leave it alone, but you keep going back to it, then look at it and think SHIT I'VE REALLY FUCKED IT UP NOW and instead of leaving it, just keep adding and adding until you're covered in paint... AND THEN TRY AND SELL IT ON PATREON.
I should probably stop reading about it because it boils my blood, I just can't.

Shame she lost her in with the guardian, she’d be pitching her next article “fell off the wagon and gave myself the worst most severe black eye!”
honestly if it is real I’m surprised she didn’t knock herself out!

Completely unrelated I’m sure but all of a sudden I’m remembering the lipstick colour ‘heather shimmer’

Fuck sake Jackie, have a word with yourself...

As a person who bruises easily because of medication I take and as a person who has had a black eye..THAT IS MAKE UP.

The 'swelling' is identical to your other eye, you've just accentuated it with shiny eye shadow. Also, you've attempted to squint to make it look swollen, however you are also doing it with your other eye, you look like you are staring at the sun.
Bruises don't go that yellow just after the injury. You've got to go through the purple/green stage. Maybe a bit of yellowish at the edge but not all over. Something to do with the bilirubin in your blood (my doc tried to explain it to me once, wish I'd paid more attention!)

And yes, she looks hungover.

Seriously what is the point?
She's not going to add any specific policy expertise; her 'original research' (if there is any) comes from some late in the day tweet call outs and she's no training in journalism or research methods and ethics; her own experience is limited and old and her understanding seems to be extremely dated (e.g. focus on sanctions not the roll-out of UC).
