J.K. Rowling “Will Struggle To Vote For Labour Party In UK Election After Its Treatment Of Female MPs”


The Harry Potter author accused Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer of "dismissive and offensive" attitude to women MPs.

The Harry Potter author wrote in The Times of London that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer – currently expected to win the UK’s generation election on July 4 – has been “dismissive and often offensive” in his approach to concerns raised by gender-critical feminists, and that certain women politicians have received no support. As long as Labour remains dismissive and often offensive towards women fighting to retain the rights their foremothers thought were won for all time, I’ll struggle to support them.” “People who’d worked with me rushed to distance themselves from me or to add their public condemnation of my blasphemous views,” she wrote, in an extract from the book The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht, published in The Times.
