What could Southend's JT LeRoy possibly be plotting now...?

This is nail on head (though I need to see who wrote it before it gets my unreserved approval *Nam eyes*).
Middle England in raptures every time he mockingly tied someone without a plummy accent in knots over Brexit was one of the more distasteful and unedifying things to come out of that period of our history.

Chaos starts here

Jack Monroe #76 £300 mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the poorest of us all?

Fraus, fraus, fraus, she is now contemplating reopening her twitter account. this is obv an act of public beneficence, because she’s started tweeting recipes 😂 But but but......her safety?! Will she bastardise every slop meal by turning it into a cartoon filter again? Safety is paramount for...

Holy duck
 
Ok I think I've narrowed it down to:
Announcement of long awaited Ken Loach biopic;
Registration opening for Monrogue's School For Scammers;
Christmas contract with the Eel Marketing Board;
Launch of Asda's Tuppeny Spice range: single fat garlic cloves, individual sachets of smoked paprika for more adventurous slopslingers.
 
If she's planning a New Year return, then opens with the usual schizz about being driven out of social media by meanies, she's not learned anything.

She needs to start afresh with something that people actually want to read, not just the same old "poor me" nonsense.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

Maybe a Jackie version of Marie Kondo, sifting through the contents of the Rug of Doom.

I expect the canal has this already, but in case not, this just popped up on my BBC Sounds page. Guest is about 12.30 mins in. She was apparently part of the research for I, Daniel Blake. As far as I can remember, nobody in that film had their parents living round the corner and a working co-parent to help them out?

Yeah, she went from seeing it in the cinema, howling and punching a wall with er IDK some reason, as it was so much like her life, to it actually being based on her life.

Saying she let them use material from her blog, and events from the movie happen exactly as she described them on her blog, including a scene where they light tea lights under a flower pot to warm the room cuz they have no utilities. JUST LIKE GUEST WAS DOING IN 2013 WHEN SHE WROTE ABOUT IT! Yes, that's 2013 when she had a full time job, was engaged to the policewoman, and was getting a stream of writing and media work and a book deal. As for what else the screenwriters borrowed from her blog ... now granted I have only seen this movie once but I don't recall a scene in which they receive Abel & Cole deliveries, rant about poppies and local council meetings, or staple a vest to a bit of old curtain to sell
