Politics LIVE: Labour at war as scramble for top jobs in Andy Burnham cabinet rages on | Politics | News
JK Rowling mocked Labour after a senior figure in the party described Andy Burnham as their “first woman prime minister”.
The insider told The Spectator that the Makerfield MP would have an โunashamedly female agendaโ focused on โhealth, education, family finances and issues like safer streets, social care, online safety for kidsโ.
But the Harry Potter author said: “Great news. The Labour Party has finally found a woman they fancy as leader. It’s a man who’ll be ‘a female PM in all but sex.’
“A senior figure in the party actually thought that was a good thing to say out loud.”
