I think Jack is trying to impress someone. Possibly her allegedly (alleged by me) elderly new partner.

Big car, flash with the cash....
 
Jack has failed to realise that her TV/radio slots are now as a low budget blogger and what she knows about that and not as the media darling where she'd engage in banter and chat about herself while possibly doing a little cooking.

Times have moved on but Jack hasn't.

Each new interview is a shock to Jack that it's not the old fawning interviews of the past and she is woefully underprepared. But it keeps happening and yet Jack never learns from the experience.

What the actual duck!!! You absolute cow!! Can she be any more tone deaf?? (Even if it is MP!)
My pet theory is that she’s never been an alcoholic LJC just put her in therapy in the desperate hope she might return to being the ‘nice’ person of their early relationship and not the massive bleep narc she later revealed herself to be. Then she did the sensible thing and LEFT because it didn’t work.

It’s a very weird flex, both for her and as the original tweet didn’t seem to be fishing for sympathy either, to me reads more like who’s old enough to remember those things. I genuinely remember doing those things, I’m an older Frau and central heating, double glazing and loft insulation weren’t commonplace in my early childhood so cold mornings were normal.

Yep I remember having icicles on the inside of our windows. And one horrible bar fire

Has Jack seriously thought that was a funny thing to tweet? Jack Monroe - voice of the poors??
Is this not quite poor timing? Considering that some people still are living in houses without central heating, with only single glazing (as Jack herself knows how cold it can be), struggling to eat and to heat their homes??

I'm not that old but I still remember single glazing, no central heating and constant condensation or ice on the inside of the windows. The day we got double glazing was amazing! No breeze through the window!

It's extremely distasteful given that epic rant yesterday about how she's so drained by the nation's desperation in her DMs.
I understand it's based on a vintage comedy riff and I'm sure I've usedlines from it in the past but for her as a (Tiffani wearing) poverty expert and campaigner it's in very poor taste.
Probably some bluetickers on the post she wants to be noticed by

It wasn't even that long ago (in Glasgow, anyway). And people are still living like that. I mean, other people have said it better upthread but she honestly outs herself again and again as not having a clue about poverty or about how people outside her little South East of England bubble actually live.

It's amazing how much the Yorkshiremen sketch sounds like her own material.

Coming from her, the Yorkshire sketch isn't even funny. It's mocking and offensive. My dads grandparents moved south from Manchester to avoid the mills and were dirt poor. She is highly offensive. Many people are living elements of this more than ever...and she's taking the piss. duck off.

As I live and breathe - Monty Python references

Based on Jack’s trick if morphing her interests to match her current partner' I would guess her new bank card oh sorry I meant love of her life is a wealthy pensioner. Thus available with the big car at all hours.

Erm no offence to her but yes I did in fact live in the house where we had single glazing and had coal fire. Despite it my mum made it a comfortable liveable home, so what's her point?!

Such an entitled biotch to spoil a vote. Real true colours right there

And all because it's "not her circus". As though she can't fathom voting when she's not central to it.

Dunno whether I'm so offended because she makes my childhood sound like some sort of poverty stricken nightmare when it was very far from that because we had coal fires, electric (and gas) heaters and icicles on the inside of the windows. Which was all just extremely normal in Scotland in the 1980s.

Not saying 🥹think of London/the south east🥹 at all here but what amazes me is despite the sheer volume of post war housing (and a lot of it was social housing probably why she’s clueless) in the SE? These houses weren’t build with central heating, there are still original owner occupiers living in houses without radiators and/or fitted kitchens now, even the original windows in some cases, and I’m not in a deprived area and some of those OAPs are driving very nice cars so aren’t hard up by any stretch of the imagination, it’s just how they’ve always lived so why spend tens of thousands fixing it now?

The country was very poor after the war. I was amazed when we took the carpets up that they’d painted the floorboards minus a patch and my MIL said that’s cos that’s all the carpet people could afford!

But these aren’t 5 bed detached houses so Jackie can’t be expected to be au fait with their history 😳
