Whatever we might think of the new Labour government’s leadership, I think this shows why we need a successful few years. Perhaps I’m being paranoid but if the country is disappointed with Labour I don’t want them to resort to electing an even more right wing version of the Tories further down the line.

    Oh no. The tory party is like the Ministry of Magic, evil, but not crazy. Reform UK is like Voldemort. Teaming up is no good idea. (For anyone who wants a good future for the UK).

        I hate JK Rowling too but no need to be rude. I’m unable to read books anymore due to aquired physical disability.

          I’m sorry, but I just can’t actual political arguments based on the world of Harry Potter serious. Even though she wasn’t as horrendous when she wrote them, JKR’s political views are central to that world

            I understand.

            For a while I had blindness and was partially paralysed because of a disease. The only thing we had at the time that I could really do was a CD of harry potter audiobooks so I listened to them on loop for months. It’s very engrained in me. Needless to say was very disappointed when I heard JK was a TERF.
