Jack Monroe #159 HarperCollins responded by saying the tweets were factually inaccurate

[phoebuscartel]

Dash (I assume) gets a brief mention in this Evening Standard article about Political Jack from 2017. He wasn't always a prisoner in the garage/office/panic room!

Apologies if this has been posted before.

Jack Monroe on why she's adding 'politician' to her CV

Writer and cook Jack Monroe has turned politician, standing as an independent. She talks Labour’s future, the PM’s punk wardrobe and dating with Rosamund Urwin

ETA: I think the tape on the floor for SB is really weird, but maybe that's just me?

Posting from the past - I once did this for my 2 year old. Yes weird for a 7 year old. That article makes me quite like JM though

I forgot some

3 kids chairs and 7 garden seats means a grand total of

28

I’m actually very concerned I have a problem

I don't believe the friends claim.
I think Jack comes here herself, though why bother if you're not going to change your ways?
I really don't get how you can be caught out, so many times, and just keep grifting.
Jack must have no shame.

I always assumed “friends” are actually people Jack and the other influencers have either pissed off or fucked over. They don’t want to get the wrath of the Narc by saying to them “I think you’re this” so instead they do the faux concern of “People are saying this about you online and if I was you I’d want to know.” which the Narc falls for every time.

You beat me to it I just came here to say that
600 ninnies have reached this thread so far,.

I have 7 indoor chairs (6 dining and one other), 2x 2-seater sofas, 2 breakfast bar stools, 6 outdoor chairs around a table, and a sun lounger. That's 20 overall.

The idea of Jack being a secret present goblin scampering about at night, my sides Mr Burns is much more her style. She'd have to be outside people's houses screaming 'It's me, former food bank user and single mother, accidental conqueror of my own fears JACK MONROE and I am doing a VERY SELFLESS THING'.




Chairs: I have two dining chairs (one of them is my cat's), a two-seater sofa (again, one seat is my cat's) and a very cheap fold-up chair I bought when I moved in before I had any furniture at all and was balancing my computer on cardboard boxes. If we're going to include everything my cat has ever sat on I might be approaching Jack numbers.

Am I right in assuming that her assistant is paid less than £10,000 per annum? So Jack is claiming 80% of £10,000 or less? What a bloody tight arse!

 

[Mogmog]

I want to preface this by saying that I don't directly employ people so I'm not sure how the dynamic/rules actually work:
I think that if I had an assistant and I were paying their 'furlough' wages out of my own pocket for almost a year and my rent had 'bounced' eight months in a row, I would probably make the decision to let them go. I'm sure it would be emotionally difficult for everyone involved but financially it's the better option. Assuming Jack pays Caroline the same salary as herself, that's £24k(?) a year that's better off in her own pocket.

ETA I wrote this before grunking from page 40ish so I didn't see that jack's claiming under £10k for furlough money. Still grunking so might have to update again!

all this talk of chairs....I'm now getting furniture adverts

 

[Sentient mirror]

Fever - Covid Jack
Frozen - Jack with her three freezers
Thief Of Hearts - but it’s about Louisa Compton and the Brexit Tins
Burning Up - Jack catching her hair on fire
Like A Prayer - Greenbelt “pray for me“ Jack
Material Girl - Jack in the endless material world that is the rug of nightmares

(I know these are songs and not versions of Madonna, but it was fun!)

Like a chair?

 

[MarthaFarkus]

I only have 1 chair, a 3 seater and a 2 seater settee. Is that really bad? I have a bench in the garden if that makes everything less awful

 

[Ladderedtights]

Have I missed a thread where we’ve been through her A-Z of No Food Waste? Pretty sure my Caraway seeds are ancient and they solely are destined for Delia Smith’s Caraway Seed Cake.
And now my new nightmare is finding ketchup ice cubes, thanks Jack.

 

[schmetterling]

Briefly delurking to wave to you all and to assure you that tax men (and ladies) have heard every sort of story that ever a smol pixie could spin...and they don’t tend to believe a word of them.

 

[Lanie]

The real issue I have is that surely after all this time she should have made her money, well enough to keep the wolves from the door, otherwise what's the point. It's like getting a job at a beginner's rate of pay a still being there decade later. Surely she would have progressed somewhere in that time but to still be missing regular bill payments is appalling. I would honestly be looking for something else so I could enjoy life.

Oh please can this be a late contender for the next thread title. It has ended me.

 

[Switchstreetz]

My god, this is riddled (and I mean RIDDLED) with aff links. They’re everywhere. Even the book that her son is reading. Utterly shameless.

One of the aff links in the octopus energy blog post is for 90 pound soap dispensers. I don't care how much I'm earning in future, if I ever spend that much on a soap dispenser please roast me until I see sense.

ETA HANG ON we've seen her bathroom from the eucalyptus chaos and I'm sure there weren't any wall mounted soap dispensers

edit #2: my tattle origin story is really boring so please just imagine a very dramatic one for me where I had to read this site on a Motorola powered by some wires connecting it to a potato, after selling all the lightbulbs to fuel my electricity bill.

 

[FrumpyCat]

i've been there at some point too!

on topic, i think with her "not mine to share" we can assume it's not her immediate family. obviously we wish everyone well and no harm to anyone. apart from maybe the government

Bag o nails, Cats, beer, music, and no hen/stag parties. What more could you want in a pub?

New thread title?
‘Not my news to chair share’

She has one of those dispensers in her kitchen (it is a single version)

Still appalling.
