J.K.Rowling's £1m

OK it's her money to squander on lost causes -but her justification seems a bit thin comparing the Tories views on tax breaks for married couples with Labour's record on child poverty - conveniently forgetting their infamous 10p tax break which shoved even more poor people into difficulties.

However, one other point needs to be raised: I suspect that she can afford the best accountancy and tax advice that can be bought, and that her tax burden has been shrunk (all legal - don't get me wrong) to the absolute minimum. So I do wish Labour will finally shut up about the Tories taking donations from people who have done exactly the same.
