Labour Versus The 'Angry Mob'
Like @jk_rowling I fear Labour will bend the knee to the mob. The test of Starmer will be when he faces his first determined bandwagon. If he buckles, as he’s so often done in opposition, it will be fatal - for it will incite ever more bandwagonshttps://t.co/w9MLIQrBWy

Matthew Syed wonders if a Starmer led Labour Government will have the strength to do what's right - or will it be cowed by angry mobs like the extreme end of the trans lobby during the high point of its cultural power?
"Reading Rowling’s words made me feel depressed about the state of the Labour Party but also exhilarated that a high-profile figure has the guts to call it out."Interesting opinion piece.
