Twitter isn’t loading for me, has anyone checked if the one where Jack herself said it was for 5 days is still there? That matches Chartwells story very conveniently if she’s now deleted her gaslighting one and wants to claim she said 5 days all along - say to throw off some lawyers...
This is still there - buried a few tweets back now:

ETA - realised I mixed up her tweets, she has so many! I meant now she’s deleted the one Marmalade posted, but I suspect the gaslighting one will be the next to vanish.
The "gaslighting" one in still there. New screenshot below.

How much does she think people spend to begin with if they can save £100 and still buy groceries for the week😱. I must have been living in a very different world for the last 37 years since I left home!
Popping in from the past 2adults 3 teens (they’ve all had adult portions for years )here we do not spend £100 a week in food because Aldi exists and despite the kids best efforts especially as homeschool at moment we’ve not yet gone over that !
 
So the curry recipe still looks like this:

I'm going to guess that this collaboration was not dreamed up on the 1st of January. In fact, I know it wasn't, because she was tweeting nonsense about the pastitsio in December. Nevertheless, she's left it to the last minute, hasn't finished, and has made excuses.

So Linda McCartney have spent god knows how much for tit recipes, a slapdash job that she hasn't bothered finishing because she's too busy, work that has not been proofread and is riddled with errors (bechemal, mozarella, pasta/passata, chickpeas)...and to top it all they've enraged their key audience of angry vegans.

Money well spent!
 
Some 🔺 info - I work in an industry with clients who are very very wealthy - earning millions. And until recently worked in one of the wealthiest areas of the country - McMansions everywhere. Property porn. I grew up in a more deprived area of the UK in a two bed flat. I now live in a detached house, getting a second floor was a big deal for me having always lived on one level until a few years ago. Being exposed to ridiculous wealth can skew your ideas, I started thinking of our house as small because no separate office, no guest suite etc and that’s insane, this is the biggest house I’ve ever had! And its not rented. I am very fortunate. So I need to reset and realise how lucky I am every so often, and if Jack has been exposed to large houses as the norm and ridiculous tv money her real life examples will be hopelessly out of reach for the actually poor people in the world. Not being rich, doesn’t make you in poverty, it’s all relative.
 
Paging Dr Jack Monroe...

It's as if JM were one of the interviewees, isn't it?

'However, our findings indicate that it also acts as a means to deflect class privilege. By positioning themselves as ascending from humble origins, we argue that these interviewees are able to tell an upward story of career success ‘against the odds’ that simultaneously casts their own achievements as unusually meritocratically legitimate while erasing the structural privileges that have shaped key moments in their trajectories.'

'they may reflect a ‘meritocratic turn’ in professional and managerial occupations that increasingly compels those from privileged backgrounds to downplay, deflect or distance themselves from any evidence of ‘unfair’ privilege (Sherman, 2017).'


TL;DR People do this to support a claim that they are better than other people.

I’ve had a busy week too Jack, but when someone’s paying me to do a job I tend to get it done. When was it she was dressing up as Mary bleeping Poppins again? The unprofessionalism is just mind blowing
