This pretty slip of a girl, standing up to all those nasty evil male politicians: she was — and is — a spin-doctor’s dream come true.

2018 Shows

Saturday
12:00 - Cooking on a Bootstrap
Award winning cookery writer and campaigner Jack Monroe cooks up a storm, creating culinary magic from the most meagre of resources to bring you their Cooking on a Bootstrap lunch. With an eye to the work of Trussell Trust around food poverty, Jack will focus on how - on the tightest of budgets - those without deep pockets can still make great and nourishing food.
Sunday
17:00 - Talking About Poverty
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s Frameworks Research looked at how we can improve the way we talk about poverty to change the debate, influence public opinion, and ultimately influence policy-makers. Join Garry Lemon, Director of Policy, External Affairs and Research at the Trussell Trust, Jack Monroe, Nicky Hawkins from Frameworks and Paul Jackson from Kettering Foodbank, to consider the current political and social climate and how the JRT findings could be implemented going forward, so that language might change hearts, minds, and systems that entrench poverty.
In association with Trussell Trust.
