I wonder if she did actually get back to the guy who kindly offered to write her a business plan? She was going to " stew on that over the weekend". But.... another week, another blank slate on planet Jack

I don't think she is ready to go back to work personally. If indeed a Dr signed her off with ill health and it was a bad as it seemed you don't bounce pack after a couple of weeks. I know there bills to pay and all that but she should have sorted something to allow her this time off too get well.She is going to blame not finishing it on her mental health being too fragile, isn't she? Also I 100% believe she's drinking again - her late night tweets only make sense in that context.
I still can't believe she's given herself 40 days to write an entire book that she considers to be the most important of her career. I gave myself more time for my MA dissertation! And I didn't even have the responsibility of saving the entire nation's poor, helpless underclass weighing on my shoulders
She should have asked for an extension for the book when she was first signed off. I am sure it would have been allowed.
Now she's back to work and she isn't in the right mind frame to do it so it's going to be tit. I know this because when I was unwell and tried to push myself into doing something high pressured when I wasn't ready it went tits up and I might as well not have bothered.
She needs a proper break she needs to see what financial help if any is available to her and take proper time off in my opinion as she will get very little done with a bad head.
Repeatedly.
Spot on- I have been lurking but her speaking at a housing conference has riled me. I too work in the industry at a senior level. I have met so many people who have the lived experience of unsecure housing and food poverty whose voice should be heard. Only on page 32 but had to reference this. ps Manc Bee without wishing to triangulate myself sounds like our paths might have crossed professionally.
I can't believe that she is just going to rehash accounts that have already been published. This book is going to be even more out of date than first thought.
I need a sit down, I’m worn out his morning trying to catch up.
Go amaranthus
In normal mackie style she’s tied herself in knots with her lies and is frantically back peddling trying to cover her arse. Hopefully it will end in a huge face plant. Ooo how mean am I?

Oh dear.
Ooft!
Not sure if the screenshot is allowed but... Wow.
I don't buy it. She is self employed.
Sick pay for the self-employed: what you need to know
This guide explains what you can claim from the government when you’re self-employed and unable to work because of illness.
It's like Hellmann's and Black Lives Matter all over again!!

Surely using ones that have already been published runs the risk of plagiarism? And who would want to buy a book that's a rehash of stuff from the guardian that was better written than the rubbish in the book.
Thankyou
Yes aramanthus!!
So, as suspected, this magnum opus is just a cut and paste job cobbled together from other people’s work. How very typical of Jack.
ETA: apologies, I know lots of you have already said this but I’m on a minor Grunka and this made me furious. She is so crap and lazy! If you turned up at a tutorial with work like this in your first week as a uni student, you’d get sent away with a flea in your ear.

Who the duck does she think she is?
AND unnecessary AND noone asked for it AND noone needs it, rather like a verruca.
With regard to that person Tweeting with a name referencing here. No doubt many people read here but are neither contributors or members. It is against the rules of Tattle for any of us to crossover information to other social media, as that would be considered bullying. If someone who isn't a member has their eyes opened by reading here and wishes to call her out on her inconsistencies, I don't see what can be done.
