The sooner she buys this teeny tiny flat and rehomes poor, sad Content (discontent, if you will) the better

I really hope it does mean she gets rid of the dog, for the pup's sake. And poor Cooper, he's used to roaming about, how will he cope with it?

I always read it as in content of yet another rabid tweet by JM rather than the poor thing is purring and content … is this right Fraus?Oh that makes more sense. Sounds like I need to get grunking
Ouchy shoulder, arthritis, emergency brace? Kiss my fragrant Welsh arseJust pulled up Jack's twitter feed saw this, and had the nightmarish impression she's still walking to the bloody vets. Send brainos.

You can see in the tv slot that she’s had her teeth whitened
After reading Jack's tooth tweets, I'm guessing that her teeth have migrated (her word, not mine) from her mouth at a rate of one per week. They're now living happy, crumbly lives in bread rolls and other foodstuffs. Perhaps these ones are totally new teeth.
I didn't watch the GMB appearance. Is it online? Is it as cringeworthy as all of her other TV attempts? If it's worse than/as bad as the poetry I'll give it a miss.

It was like one of those hostage videos where the hostage reads from a prepared statement in a trembling voice.

That sounds about right. I can picture the scene quite clearly from that description, so probably don't need to watch it.
My dream TV interview would be Liz Truss discussing the price of dairy products with Jack Monroe. It would be like watching two characters from a sketch show.

I watched it on mute, and it really stood out how sullen and sneering her body language was. Big teenager energy. Totally unprofessional and not appropriate for TV.

I think she DM’d Mark Lewis (she would have preferred to write but she’s still banned from all Post Offices in Southend) and it went like this:
Jack: Mark, Mark that meanie MP is a meanie and I’ve announced on Twitter that I’m going to sue him so can you…
Mark: NO
Jack: But I’ve opened up a special PayPal account, the grift is on so we have to…
Mark: NO. Do you really want all your details out there for public scrutiny, your accounts, your taxes, your tweets. Litigation disaster. Now I’m sorry Jack, I must go as I’m moving continent eh I mean office.
Jack: Hmmm that’s no fun. Mark is wrong and I am right. There are other Lawyers. I’m Jack Monroe. 100% success rate at suing. Judges love me, the public love me. I am the poverty princess. His loss, I’ll get another solicitor but in the meantime I’ll tell them there’s a team of Paralegals on it. That’ll show em

I’m a little late to this but on the subject of dogs being carried my old dog absolutely loved being carried. She was an anomaly though, everyone who met her felt she wasn’t really a dog but more like a sidekick from a Disney film. She was tiny, extremely intelligent, hated other dogs and most things dogs generally enjoy, loved people and was an total diva. My new dog is very different and a definite dog, he hates being carried. On one of our regular walks is a bridge with slats spaced widely enough that his legs slip through them, he reluctantly accepts being carried over the bridge but the second we’re back on the path he squirms to be put down.

She really does come across as so immature a lot of the time. Have always thought that her social media presence is weirdly juvenile and teenager-ish (no disrespect to teenagers!). I think you'll all know what I mean, though? As if she's still trying to be edgy and 'cool' and impress people, but doesn't yet have a solid grasp of relationships or current affairs/politics. Scary to think she's a parent.
I just hope she's not doing more harm than good with her TV stuff.

Ben Shephard used Morse code to blink the word TORTURE
She had obviously googled her opponent yesterday and had, she thought, a gotcha moment. When that fell flat, all she had left was the horrors of her poverty days.
The thing is she was almost right, her opponent did have an agenda. He wants deregulation of the energy industry, the reintroduction of fracking and the relaxation of planning laws.
Unfortunately Monroe lacked the knowledge of the energy industry to counter his arguments, her answers were all one dimensional and short term. Her lack of preparedness, frankly her sheer ignorance, made him appear reasonable.
I dont think she harmed the progressive cause but she certainly didn’t further it one inch. I am grateful for that small mercy at least

Oh my god you’ve hit the nail on the head! Sneering - that’s exactly it! I think it reflects the fact that she feels very assured of her own superiority, and to be fair to her, I think she’s only imitating what she’s seen others do.
one of the things I’ve noticed in public life over the last decade or so is the tendency of some —NOT ALL - progressives to act as though being on the Left automatically makes them better people and morally superior to conservative and centre right people. Well, it doesn’t. We just have different views on the roles of free markets and the size of government. Those views say nothing about the way you move in your own world and how you behave amongst friends, loved ones and colleagues - all of which are the REAL arbiters of morality. You can be as Progressive as you like, but if you’re also bullying women (hi, Owen Jones!) or beating people up and downloading child porn (Hi, Eric Joyce!) then your progressive politics don’t mean tit. Conversely if you believe in free market economy and work your whole life for your constituents and animal charities (RIP David Amess) or put loads of effort into mentoring troubled kids (Shaun Bailey) then that’s a big tick in the good person box as far as I’m concerned. Jack has a lot of maturing to do.
She’s so immature and self righteous and it’s highly irritating tbh
She wants to remember who felt the need to publish edited bank statements yesterday. The Poverty Princess dances to her followers tune as much as any politician.

Still grunking in the last thread, so apologies if these points have been addressed.
1) What has happened with the Superdrug collaboration? We've heard nothing about it for weeks from either side. Is it safe to assume Jack has been dropped from a campaign that could've been a nice little earner for her?
2) Surely a young pup shouldn't be experiencing violent diarrhea as frequently as content. She's very young to be going through that on a regular basis. I don't know much about animal health but know how dangerous it can be for humans, especially babies and children.
3) she really is an utterly despicable human being.
