Mind that time JK Rowling helped to hound Mridul Wadhwa out of her job at Edinburgh Rape Crisis Center?
“I don’t believe in taking away people’s jobs,” says the woman pouring money into campaigns attacking trans rights, immigrants, and more. It’s a perfect snapshot of her class politics: she’ll defend your labor (for her ultimate financial benefit), not your life.

The splash of a paper is its team saying to its readers that this is the single most important story in the world that day *to them*.
So how on earth did the team at the Mail (or whoever was in charge that day) decide it was this? It’s just a crap story. And their readers will spot that.

What on earth is the line of thinking behind what makes this news + front line splash?
Why is later career as a lawyer/judge of somebody who Starmer had a personal relationship with at some point around 1998 + ending over > 20 years ago relevant?
