JK Rowling donates 1m pound gift to Labour Party

Several news sites are reporting this morning that JK Rowling has donated a staggering 1 million pounds (about 2 million US dollars) to the Labour Party. From the BBC: Ms Rowling said she was motivated by Labour's record on child poverty and opposed a Conservative plan to give tax breaks to married couples. Her donation will boost Gordon Brown as he tries to calm unrest among party members at Labour's annual conference. Mr Brown said he was delighted to have the backing of "one of the world's greatest ever authors".
