Customers and industry experts, charity CEOS and campaigners have long begged Ofgem to do their job as a regulator rather than actively enable the money-grabbing avarice of the big energy companies, and yet… metro.co.uk/2022/08/07/ofg…

Folks sorely missing the point of the spaghetti hoops and replying with the cost of dried pasta (as if I’m not already famously forensically aware!) I trust you’ll be donating 1000s of packets of it to foodbanks then, with electric hobs & fuel vouchers? No? Sit this one out then.

This is a Jack Monroe appreciation tweet. Jack Monroe has been one of the few public personalities to come out of the shitshow of the past decade who reaffirms my faith in the goodness of people. More love and power to Jack.

Its a very sad world we live in when Jack Monroe, who has experienced real hardship and who wants to help others, is relentlessly trolled because unpleasant people can not conceive that someone might just be a genuinely lovely person.

@BootStrapCook

I’ve read every one of your kind + beautiful messages as they’ve come through today, and I’m truly thankful for each of you who took the time and care to do so. You drowned out the hatred and lies with your own testimonies and such love, and I’m incredibly grateful. Thankyou. 💕

A story in 3 screenshots. Jack Monroe’s cookery books are designed for people on a tight budget, & in this case for people relying on foodbanks.

There’s something a bit gross about taking recipes designed to help people who are struggling financially & laughing at them.

Hopefully my last word on the matter. For the last decade, a dedicated core of horrible hacks for certain newspapers have hounded everyone I’ve ever breathed next to for dirt on me. There’s been no scandalous reveals because there’s ~nothing scandalous TO reveal~, sorry!

Sarasaurus⁷ ✡️🇺🇦 #FBPAZ I still haven’t forgotten what Jack said about David & Samantha Cameron’s son. I’m not saying one comment = banishment forever but if that wasn’t someone left leaning it wouldn’t have been forgotten about so quickly. pjgoldsmith.com/2014/11/29/jac…

The Guardian have named Marcus Rashford, Martin Lewis and me as the official Opposition in todays editorial, and I rarely keep press clippings these days, but I might send this one to my parents. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Jack Monroe: wash the tomato sauce off you tinned spaghetti hoops
Twitter: really? Seems a bit pointless.
Jack Monroe: help! I am being mercilessly trolled by heartless Tory bastards!

Sometimes I wake up and choose violence. Thanks to all the noisy faceless gits who derided this simple recipe all weekend for reminding me of what an absolute banger it is. Remember to rinse your spaghetti-os y’all, every time you do, a troll account evaporates into apoplexy. 💥

It strikes me as odd that neither of the two candidates for our next Prime Minister seem able to grasp the most basic of economic rescue plans: put more money in the pockets of the lowest income deciles. Higher wages, and benefits that reflect a decent living standard.

Dear trolls bothering Jack Monroe,

BACK OFF.

That’s all.

Being autistic* means that I generally find social encounters excruciatingly awkward and try to avoid them.

Having a cute dog means dozens of strangers stop for a chat.

I think I’ve made more progress today with ‘being a passable human being’ than I have in the last 34 years.

…and if you don’t have the spare cash for a book right now, don’t worry, I got you. I’ve been there myself, so I’ve put almost all of my recipes online for free at cookingonabootstrap.com - enjoy!

Being todays Dead Cat on Twitter is HORRIBLE. If at any point in the last 10 years I, my work, activism, campaigning, books, writing etc had any kind of positive impact on you or someone you love, can you ping me a tweet & let me know? This relentless, intolerable abuse can’t win

The Jack Monroe truthers have finally cracked the case: she says she's poor, yet she can afford a whole mother

They’re still going. I don’t care. I’m finishing writing up a simple recipe for my blog later. Have a glorious Sunday, everyone, including those who vilify + despise me + the people I work to help. You most of all. I hope you find peace instead of the bitterness in your heads. 🥰
