Southend may well be on fire but according to Leicester Mercury (?? a Reach publication)
You can still save £78.00 with Quack's airfryer hacks!

Good to see it’s finally taken its head out of Monroe’s arse.

Here's the thing, though @Phillipa78: there are plenty of people who ARE really struggling. I'm on Universal Credit and I can tell you first-hand that it is a bureaucratic nightmare if you're on a variable income month to month and having to report this to the DWP. Their default is always to underpay you or cancel your claim outright (with no warning and no tapering off period) and then expect you to raise a complaint or a re-assessment.

In my case, I have no savings left so have no cushion if my UC were suddenly withdrawn. It happened a few times and, each time it was their error but they close your file and sign you out of the system immediately so you can't even access your online case files. And everything is online now. So, for me the risk of trying to take on some freelance work, which I could probably do, is too great if it means losing my UC. It's a horrible trap and, every month, I have days of anxiety leading up to payday, worrying that something is going to go wrong and I won't be paid and will be destitute.

Please don't mock people trying to testify about their experiences living precariously. Not everyone is a Jack Monroe.

nice work @MavisBeacon!

The thread's moved on, but I just wanted to clarify that I meant no slight to the author of this piece or anyone at the mercy of the benefits system. My badly explained point was: it's the exact same story Jack span out for years and now there are finally new voices (no doubt with genuine lived experience). We've done plenty of mithering about the indignity of Jack being the unofficial pov spokesperson on speed dial and finally we're viewing yet another element of her cancellation. She not just a incompetent slopgibbon - although that's both a source of megalols and rage for many a canal member too.

As a child in a low-income (and quite often, no income) household under Thatcher's government, I can assure you that I don't find people going without food or basics in anyway funny. It's why I'm here on this thread. I'm working through my own issues around the damage that did to me and my family. Peace. ✌️
 
There’s a lot of media concern about the global shortage of ADHD meds and the impact on people reliant on them.

Great to see guest raising awareness of support mechanisms for those affected, using her Glastonbury-sized audience! You go girl!! Gong-worthy work!

As chaoi go, this might well be in my top five, just because it came so completely out of left field. Nobody could have predicted an air fryer related chaos, as it's such a specialist piece of equipment that Jack will never use out of principle.

My favourite chaos was the 2 pence pieces in the bathtub Guardian photo shoot lie. So incredibly low stake. A lie so utterly pointless and easily disprovable.
 
That Mr Motivation guy who posts inspirational quotes every day to his clients(including guest) makes me laugh so much.
Today it's like he's speaking directly to her and trying to calm the titting dog.
I still think Adrian is going to try one more push to get her back into the limelight. I know we shouldn't take that squig too seriously, but I believe that there's something else to come at Christmas.

Ending hunger by electrocuting people should be her swan song. She won't beat that.

"You will be hungry no more. Fill your air fryer with water and turn on the switch."

Just for the record, I think my all-time favourite is "my Dad's a Marxist Leninist who stands up for the Queen's speech every Christmas because people are complicated!" (*)

(*) this was my gist from memory. I just looked up the actual Tweet and now I am honking.

"It's the 'multi-faceted human being' bit talking. My Dad is a Marxist Leninist Socialist who also happens to put all his medals on and salute the Queens Speech at 3pm on Christmas Day without fail. People are complicated, who knew?"
