Catching up...yeah yeah, BUSY!
I hope that wasn’t AneurysmGate.

The Select Committee was depressingly disappointing. She wasn’t any better or worse than I thought she’d be but, honestly, what was the point of her being there? We heard the bleeding obvious points that food is an essential and the poorest are most impacted by price rises. Did anyone actually learn anything from her presence (other than the fact she looks nothing like her bio pics)? Wasted Opportunity!

As someone pointed out, she did say that food hasn’t gone up in the last 10 years...it’s everything else. So what have the last few weeks been about?! Why am I even asking – self promotion.

The mistakes annoyed me most. This is her life’s work, her 10 years campaigning with forensic attention to detail. She’s rubbish at it! And afterwards? It’s the self congratulatory tweets, job done, poverty’s sorted...until the next publicity opportunity. I blame whoever invited her. Most people try to progress in their careers but she just trots out the same old tit. Some of it is now out of date and incorrect. Next time just send a pre-written piece - save us all a bit of time.

Jack really has made a career out of being the token pov, hasn't she? The people who invite her to this stuff don't give two shits whether she was ever actually struggling or not, it's all to be able to say "Well, we did ask a peasant!" while Jack sits there with her posho hat and a warehouse of sideboards at home.

I'm not sure lads, I feel like the guilt at speaking over actual suffering people would be too much for me. But I'm no maverick. 🤷‍♀️
