The thing I find soo odd about her campaign is she never advertises these things. I get it she wants them not to be a thing because everyone should be able to afford heating, but at the same time people needs these things!

can anyone remember Nathan Barley
Or a bit niche but even more on the nose, Stefon from SNL… “New York’s hottest club is Nnnnuruuuurrgghh. It has everything. Rinsed beans, poverty, Jack Monroe…”

Director of Policy at Trussell Trust (Garry somebody?) was just on Times Radio. I only caught the end but heard JM mentioned. Not sure how to rewind or replay?

I think you can replay after the programme finishes, at 7PM. And it's Garry Lemon.

Wasn't saying yay to the Squig but to Allan for pointing out that Jack's research is incorrect.

Exactly! Why not promote it? Especially now when, you know, it might actually be helpful and useful?Helped launch it, then never spoke of it again
Rhetorical question - but what does she actually do? Why can't her generous benefactors see she does precisely duck all squared to help anyone (apart from herself)?

Is this an actual thing that she did? Yikes

I love Stefon (the Sidney Applebaum sketch always gets me
) even if he does have a Jack haircut

Because she doesn’t *actually* give two shits about people on low incomes. Only things that get her attention allowed.

...And yet, she's never felt the need to mention the scheme before, ever. Calling massive, shameless bullshit on her claim.
And even if it's true (which it isn't) that reply as well though! So short, and arrogant and so rude. Why not say "Yea, it's a great scheme! Thanks for reminding me, I actually had a part to play in that ....etc etc "

And no doubt got paid for helping to launch. You’d imagine what with her being involved front of house rather than behind the scenes with this initiative that when the conversation was centred on the hike in fuel prices she‘d have wanted to let people who may struggling know How they could seek help.
