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 โ€œunashamedly female agendaโ€ focused on โ€œhealth, 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.”
