If the government were to announce that they were moving to the Finnish system of free school meals for all and reforming the benefit system with the aim of eradicating food poverty she'd be gutted.
Not before trying to take the bleeping credit for it!

You can donate your Tesco points to FareShare. I logged on and it is next to the Trussel Trust donation option. So, in so far as they are both worthy causes, they are sort of in competition. I know that’s not the way to look at it but I bet Jack is.

I get the notion that this week has been like Andy Millman quitting his cheesy sitcom and then waiting for the phone to ring in Extras. Not even a little talkie piece on BBC Radio 4 out of this, or a little zoom call to the Matthew Wright or Jeremy Vine shows etc - and you could almost guarantee they would have been calling even a few months ago.

I for one welcome our Jackie doing some research and pulling up some screaming clangers on Tory MPs expenses etc and doing her activism shite on Twitter because the Tories will have someone who has access to all the facts on Jackie’s life/back story all the stuff we know and much more and that will be leaked and in turn all her lies will be exposed. It’s a win win for me, so crack on Jack get that list and get digging babe. 😜

There would actually be a lot of mileage in her doing this. Remember when that girl who used to be in Eastenders was photographed working as security in a discount store? Jack could do one week at Asda and then give interviews about her work on the front line of food-getting and how tough and humiliating it was being recognised, but she’ll stoically carry on.

Jack, you can have this as free PR advice but I am a professional and I do also have a day rate for this kind of thing *rattles newly-set up Patreon*
Or she could try volunteering in a food bank!!

Oh wow this is genuinely fascinating. Of course while it shouldn't actually matter which one you're donating to, so long as you *are* donating to charities with a common cause, it could explain why Jack's so reticent to actually publicly share anything which would benefit FareShare. I mean it's still gross, perhaps even grosser that her just not giving a duck tbh because she's worried about her own position rather than the wider issue of people getting what they actually need.

The likelihood is that she will cop for a proportion of that once her mum and dad die. She just can't wait that long.
What's the law in England about inheritance? Are you allowed to cut people out?

I would wet myself hooting up a lung if her portion got left to SB instead.

Sorry I always say this but I can’t keep up 🤣 but am I the only one thinking she secretly loving what’s going on because she feels as though she has some kind of purpose?? She has something to tweet about. If the government had agreed the free school means then she would have duck all to bore us with

LOL no she's hating it because someone she can't initiate a pile-on towards is stealing her ~niche~.

I am happy to be called a conspiracy wanker, but I can also look on Strava and see in 2 minutes that LC started and ended her bike ride on Saturday within a couple of hundred yards of Jack's house.
My apologies, perhaps I should have said I do endorse the conspiracy. I hope they are both very happy together in her weapons-grade putrid miasma. Perhaps if she's hooked Louisa back in she'll stop grifting and posting rubbish on Twitter and settle down into a stable family life. Maybe she will take up knitting. Probably not. Arthritis, you know.

I actually think that being ignored and becoming an irrelevance in the public eye on one's supposedly specialist subject, is a much bigger come-uppance in the long-run than being exposed by a journo...she's now very much yesterday's fish and chip paper...oh how the mighty have fallen...it reminds me of The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy.

I also can't stop thinking about various people posing on sideboards and how that would appear in social media...it's got right into my maverick brain this evening.

Her book is going to be even more irrelevant after all the good work by MR, councils, businesses and all the other kind individuals. Like the tories she wants to profit from other people's misery and poverty.
