Christ, linking to her own overblown twitter thread as recommended reading.

She's back with her twitter partnership (because it was sooooo popular), recommending vegetable peeling stuffing and meringues using aquafaba, the recipe of which she's linked to via a monetised site

(incidentally, the photographer in that second screenshot liked TD's Georgia cookbook takedown 🥰 🥰 )

I'm doubting she wrote those tweets, they sound too much like an ad campaign.
Twitter HQ have given her a script to follow.

Her mum is also evidenced being in the comments of her blog DURING The Poverty™️

It’s all bullshit, it was then and it is now. No way does she currently only have £18-£20 a week to spend on food. What purpose does anyone think she’s doing this performance for? I don’t understand how this is helpful to a single living soul. It’s not like she’s gathered her followers up and gone ‘right, sunday, buy this exact list’ and then broken down what to do with it through the week. It’s just a load of retroactive costings of her rank slop - which by the way half the costings are false! Tell me who this is useful to? Tell me!! Ffs is THIS the aneurysm?

How is it that one minute she's referring to herself as some ickle food blogger with 4 and a half GCSEs and saying she's not responsible for everything and the next minute she's bigging up her own 'political' writing and saying she's heroically fighting the system.

Also what is her writing challenging exactly? It's just some sort of twisted therapy for her and poverty porn for her middle class readers. Nothing is being exposed or threatened by anything she's said. I'm trying to be fair here, it may be that having grown up in a Tory part of the country saying anything even slightly left wing feels edgy and rebellious but it really isn't. Maybe she should try and broaden her horizons and be less parochial.

She has said she posts what she does in case others are inspired by it. So much self-confidence and so little useful information. The recipes to be posted whenever she gets around to it.
