So obviously jk Rowling is a massive cunt but isn’t this more about Labour reaching out to a former donor in the run up to an election and less about shaping policy?

They're basically reassuring her that they're still transphobic enough for her to support after she went against them to endorse the Communist Party of Britain because one of their candidates put out a really transphobic statement for their election (but then CPB disavowed their member's statement in a really limp wristed way to try and maintain the facade that they're still the social centrists in between the former party RFB and CPGB-ML so she took back her endorsement)

that's hilarious. a billionaire supporting the communist party just because they hate trans people
