Jack has resurfaced on Twitter, changed her user name and has said that a hacker has been deleting some of her tweets while she's been having a physical and mental breakdown. She also says that she hasn't been able to access funds from her Patreon for nearly a year because it was hacked and she was locked out of it. Does anyone believe her?

Good for her? She got a "real" job. Wasn't this what her haters wanted?

Purple hair brigade is it.

Rallying round her that is, she is the OG grifter though I'll give her that,

She did have genuine friends. They bent over backwards for her, gave her money and places to live, supported her professionally & emotionally, tried to gently get her some mental health support.

She ruthlessly shafted them all.

Yes as long as it also included shutting her patreon and taking money off people.

This is an old-ish thread resurfaced.

I thought it would be posters likening JM to the lead character in Apple, Cider Vinegar on Netflix! Some similarities there I think.

So I was right. She is working for Southend Council. Questions are now being asked regarding if the job was advertised etc.

Who is asking the questions? I assume it is Tattle obsessives.

It's a shame her work email is out there publicly. No doubt Tattlers will use it to harrass her.

I think questioning the council about whether or not the post was advertised and no doubt other things out of order.

She's got a proper job, just leave her alone.

Why wouldn't a work email for a person working in public office be public?

Why is someone like this always cited as 'emotionally unwell' or with poor MH

Is it poor MH or is she just a bad 'un

I dont see people going on about Tommy Robinson (as someone made the comparison previously) as being emotionally unwell, or having had a breakdown or with poor MH. He's just an arsehole surely. Doesnt that just apply to her as well?

Not sure re Tattle, but someone on Twitter is says they are doing an FOI.

She is the oj grifters. With a massive smattering of 'poor me, martyrdom' leading the way.
What qualifications does she have in policy advising?

@CaptainFuture

Exactly. She made a big thing of only have GCSEs.

I'm not aware of any qualifications that exist in policy advising/

I spent 5 mins on Tattle and found this:

In any case, it would be terrible if someone tipped off the Leader of the Opposition at Southend Council about the calibre of the people the Leader of the Council surrounds himself with, wouldn’t it? Down to the fact that she is using what is essentially a fake identity (different from her legal identity) to cover up more than a decade of lies, financial irregularities, CCJs, grifting, controversies, alcoholism, substance abuse… After all, they wouldn’t want a repeat of the Harris debacle that Essex Council went through.

Proof Tattlers will try and get her sacked.

She's defrauded countless people out of thousands of pounds, many of them poor and vulnerable. Defending her against scrutiny is a weird choice.

Interesting that she's using her real last name now.

I wonder if she'll revert back to Melissa too.

I think it's poor taste to try and get someone sacked. The council will have carried out plenty of thorough checks on her.

She’s an awful person, and it makes my blood boil thinking of all the grifting she has done. That said, it gives me a real sense of satisfaction that she has to do a proper job these days just like us mere mortals! The Tattlers need to think this way too, keep her busy in proper employment and she will have no time to rip off well meaning people. It will not be well paid, so it is what she deserves.

Why don't you all just unfollow her or even better leave X? There problem solved. Forget about her. Live your life. You're welcome.

She’s part of an ongoing issue of people in 2025 still giving their mates good jobs in the council. I can’t believe it’s still happening.
If you wonder why your council is underperforming/going bankrupt this is part of it. When I left LA we had as many managers as staff, they spent all their time working out how to put pay reviews in to boost their pay or how to cut staff as a saving so it looked like they were doing a good job. As well as getting jobs for their mates.
so no it shouldn’t just be ignored.

Good point. But her Patreon appears to be still going, with people still donating money each month. Their choice I know, but it seems very dishonest of her to be taking money and providing absolutely nothing in return.

According to Xitter it's a nepo job given to her without due process and well above her qualification and experience level - if true, given that it's public money paying her salary, this is NOT what critics want, no. She's also still taking Patreon money. More fool those who are giving it to her but until she closes that she's still a grifter.

@Gingerkittykat

Surely there's at least a basic level of education needed?

I'd be surprised if there weren't degree courses that lead to this kind of employment.

Oooh I can't believe that any of you haven't seen what's going down with her at the council

I’m still gobsmacked how Nigella begged her following to support Jack’s Patreon.

It seemed so naive of Nigella to ask normal people to support the total output of JM. That is to say, very little of substance or quality.

I've seen the job description for her role. I'm struggling to see how she got the job but that's for the Council to answer if they want to.
