Good news for Scottish Labour! JK Rowling invites Jim Murphy to be in Gryffindor

"Unbelievable guts".

By Media Mole

JK Rowling has invited its leader, Jim Murphy, to join Gryffindor!

Murphy lost his seat last night to the SNP, as did every single Scottish Labour MP but one. This mole wonders how the delights of the Gryffindor common room compare to those of East Renfrewshire.
