There’s some dark money floating about this misinformation campaign. The News Agents did a great episode on the ADF. “Alliance Defending Freedom” is one of the orgs spreading this propaganda with the view of having abortions banned in the UK. ADF has reportedly had meetings with Farage.
A guest on GB News has claimed abortion will be legal until birth in Scotland and that abortions will be allowed on the basis of the sex of the fetus

But is it actually true? Here's a fact check 👉 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

The trolls got me down earlier in the summer, when I had put on weight due to a new medication called atogepant. But my migraines and less, and I’m feeling good. Screw the trolls living my best life ❤️❤️

I asked to see the list of “Banned Books” in the used book store in Florida. Books such as Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, 1984 and others that had been banned in the US school system. So naturally I bought the Joan Baez autobiography.

Please help to send a message to the BBC that their misguide proposal to cut the Iain Anderson show is a major misstep. A stalwart of broadcasting who introduces new, exciting and emerging artists to new audiences. We can’t lose this.

I cannot begin to explain how deeply disappointed I am to hear that the BBC will be dropping the Iain Anderson show. New, emerging and established musicians have enjoyed the support of Iain’s expertly presented show for years. A misstep. Cultural vandalism.

24 hours. One gig. 12 hours of driving and barely any sleep. Never let online trolls tell you that being a musician isn’t “real work”. Those trolls would never manage to pull this off. Now in sunny Florida and loving it ❤️❤️ BTS at www.instagram.com/iona.fyfe

It’s 4am and I’ve just tucked myself into bed in my (rough) motel. Tonight I had a lovely show in Louisianna. Then drove 6.5 hours (431 miles). I’m burnt out. I feel undercompensated. It’s a hard and exhausting job being a woman touring in the US alone.
