Harry Potter hates the Tories

Well, J K Rowling does, as this editorial in The Times demonstrates. She's rather annoyed by their spiteful approach to single mothers.

I particularly like this bit of snark:
The Secretary of State for Wales, John Redwood, castigated single-parent families from St Mellons, Cardiff, as "one of the biggest social problems of our day". (John Redwood has since divorced the mother of his children.) 
If Mr Cameron's only practical advice to women living in poverty, the sole carers of their children, is "get married, and we'll give you £150", he reveals himself to be completely ignorant of their true situation.
