When human rights are under attack the role of the press should be to challenge those in power – not cheer them on.

🚨 NEW: How are ultra-conservative networks infiltrating human rights in the UK?
In my latest for @goodlawproject.org I expose how the new head of the EHRC (supposed to protect our rights + equalities) in Scotland is linked to dark money funded anti-abortion groups goodlawproject.org/ehrcs-new-ch...
Lois McLatchie Miller on the ballot adds to evidence that global Christian right orgs + ppl linked to them are targeting the UK.
Legal cases funded by such groups have already influenced NHS policy on trans healthcare. Abortion isn't safe either - we don't have full decrim. 5/5
ADF has recently teamed up with Tory peer Sharron Davies to issue an anti-trans legal threat against community sports groups in the UK such as Parkrun.
It has also worked directly with Paul Conrathe, the British Christian right lawyer who represents detransitioner Keira Bell 4/5
Back to ADF. It's linked to Reform via Nigel Farage + James Orr + has been ramping up UK spending/activities inc litigation + events like 'March for Life'.
JD Vance has used ADF cases supporting abortion buffer zone breachers as examples of attacks on 'free speech' in the UK 3/5
But she's not exactly interested in the election...Lois has barely posted about her campaign...and was in Central America as of 2 days ago.
Today, she's put out posts in support of a guy who breached an abortion safe zone + reposted a reply to 1 of her posts from Elon Musk. 2/5
🚨 #Voting in Maida Vale today? Pls know 1 of #Reform's candidates is a recent staffer at the intl' arm of the dark money org behind the overturn of US #abortion rights.
In Dec anti-abortion/LGBT activist + Spectator contributor Lois McLatchie Miller left ADF after 7 YEARS. 1/5
