🚨THE SLIPPERY SLOPE OF ABORTION LAW? A reminder that a senior figure at one of Britain’s leading abortion providers said this two years ago about the proposal, passed by the House of Lords last night, to permit women to induce their own abortions up to birth.🧵1/

🇭🇺🇪🇺 EU ramps up “disinformation” controls before Hungary vote Brussels and major platforms like Meta have activated DSA tools just weeks before Hungary’s elections. The system coordinates with fact-checkers and NGOs to limit what it labels “controversial” content. This goes beyond disinformation, allowing Brussels to sideline dissent and shape political narratives. Why it matters: unelected EU bodies could end up influencing the outcome of a national election.

Not much before midnight, the House of Lords voted 185-148 to legalise abortion until birth as part of a hijacking of the Crime and Policing Bill. A second amendment to reinstate doctor’s consultations in place of ‘pills by post’ was also rejected. Words fail.

🇭🇺 EXCLUSIVE BREAKING: FACEBOOK RESTRICTS ORBÁN POSTS WEEKS BEFORE HUNGARY’S ELECTION As Hungary heads toward a crucial April election, Facebook is reportedly restricting posts from the country’s Prime Minister. The move followed a call by an opposition party (Tisza Party) member, a former Meta employee, urging supporters to mass-report his content. Meanwhile, Tisza leader Péter Magyar has disproportionately high engagement figures, outperforming global figures, despite operating in a much smaller, language-limited country Péter also used a personal “professional mode” profile rather than a political page, contrary to Meta’s long-standing guidelines, potentially bypassing limits on political content. Questions are also emerging around how Meta moderates political content in Hungary. A regional Meta official has publicly shared positions aligned with mainstream European narratives, including pro-Ukraine messaging and content seen as anti-government in Hungary. If Hungary’s largest social platform keeps restricting Orbán’s content while opposition accounts seem inflated before the election, serious questions arise about free speech and democratic integrity. This requires an urgent investigation. I’ve seen political interference by social media companies in other countries, and I really hope this is not happening in Hungary.

I met an 84-year-old woman who was offered euthanasia at a Canadian hospital practically upon arrival. Miriam didn’t want to die. She recovered well and travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala. Stop offering death to people who have adventures to lead!

Tonight’s vote means there will be no legal deterrent against a woman inducing her own abortion right up to full-term for any reason, including sex-selective abortions. A civilised society does not permit abortion up to birth. Only 1% of the public support it. 3/
