Jack Monroe - Bootstrapcook

[@MaxJonasG]

Feeling a bit sorry for Nimco Ali (lockdown breaker in No.10) and George Freeman (flip/flopping Con MP) that have to go head to head with Jack Monroe and Jess Philips tonight.

R to @HoppoDS: Transferable skills, David! Who knew?!

 

[@HoppoDS]

R to @BootstrapCook: Nice colour match between the top and shoes - reminds me of your colour coordinated pots and cutlery pics

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @daisybruni: That’s what the cutie patootie Dalmatian socks are for - pottering to my seat in!!

 

[@daisybruni]

R to @BootstrapCook: True, but you have to walk to the place before you get to sit. I have the greatest respect for anyone who manages to walk even a few steps in very high heels. My mom loved them and looked great in them. Best of luck tonight

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @_MarianneHart: The jury’s out - my friends and I have had the same debate!

 

[@bbcquestiontime]

RT by @BootstrapCook: “It’s not a cost of living crisis…it’s a cost of Conservatives crisis”

Anti-poverty campaigner Jack Monroe says the cost of living crisis hasn't "fallen out of a clear blue sky" but is the result of stripping back on public services

R to @DanForinton: The editor asked me in the green room afterwards if I’d like to come back, so, maybe!

 

[@DanForinton]

R to @BylinesEast: Somehow, I don't think Jack is going to be asked back on any time soon

But well done for making the most of the opportunity to speak truth to power

 

[@BylinesEast]

Jack Monroe: "For Rishi Sunak to say it's a government of honesty and integrity, it's absolutely laughable. When it's a government that routinely seeks to obfuscate, delay, and deny their involvement in absolute any wrongdoing."

[@BootstrapCook]

Thanks all for your supportive #BBCQT comments tonight - all I try to do is carry a message, that millions of people who don’t get the same opportunities, need those in power to hear. I don’t always get it right, but I do my best. (And no, we don’t get the questions in advance!)

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @BootstrapCook: They’ve already asked me if I’ll come back, so I guess those red boots with the gold stiletto heel have now inadvertently become my Lucky Boots… god help my arches and ankles, but they’re a great deal of fun! (For very short, flat distances…)

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @Bazilnova10: (I AM anxious and nervous! Always! Watch my hands as I put the water glass down… and a cameraman very gently told me off for fidgeting with the pen constantly because it was being picked up on the mic )

 

[@Bazilnova10]

I always worry @BootstrapCook looks anxious and nervous on the TV, but I have no idea why…

She’s measured, articulate, reasoned and generally, 100% on the fing button with everything she says.

A voice of the people. Absolute hero.

I couldn’t love her any more.

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @CountessofW: And now that’s the reality for literally millions of others…. Disgusting how it’s been allowed to come to this…

 

[@CountessofW]

R to @CountessofW: P.S- never going to forget when you wrote about not being able to buy jam at checkout & you & your son were facing dry toast that week ……

 

[@BootstrapCook]

R to @Amit_Sirker: Thankyou!

 

[@Amit_Sirker]

Just watching @bbcquestiontime and and felt compelled to take to Twitter to say how refreshing it is to listen to a panellist who speaks with such clarity, empathy, and compassion about the hardships facing so many at present. Thank you @BootstrapCook!!
