Delighted to be enjoying my #MatchaTea from @StarbucksUK in Edinburgh. 😁 I’m smiling just like the cup because I was served by a staff member using a bit of #BSL and hand gestures. Awesome! 👏 We need more business staff trained in British Sign Language (BSL).

Come on @StarbucksUK! What’s going on with your Matcha Tea?! Why are you always out of stock?? This is poorly managed and coordinated. Four Starbucks were out of stock in one week, and two are out of stock this week. I like my Matcha Tea on the way to work. #MatchaTea #FedUp

#OasisLive25 #Oasis Disappointed with @oasis. Do you care about your fans?! @TicketmasterUK, you’re a joke! Misleading! “Tickets are available” at 10.57am when it’s sold out! @Kier_Starmer, what’s happened to your promise against ticket touts?! Sort it! Resellers are a disgrace!

@paulbelmontesli Absolutely!! 🫤 With some BSL / English Interpreters, it’s getting out of control. Sadly, some are getting greedy and selfish. It’s a shame because they’re giving their fellow fantastic BSL / English Interpreters a bad name!! I’m highly concerned with the future. Work together!!!

Question for Deaf people: do you think interpreters have too much power? Do they misuse their power sometimes? Would you be willing to provide an example in BSL for a conference presentation?

Consultations timescale: 1.) @scotgov draft #BSL National Plan 2023-2029 is nine weeks! 2.) @GOVUK GCSE BSL in England is 12 weeks. 3.) #HumanRights Bill in Scotland is 16 weeks. Do you think BSL Communities got a fair deal? It’s a fragile draft plan, Minister @JennyGilruth. 😳👎

I urge Minister @JennyGilruth to consider extending the deadline to Saturday 30 September 2023. For us to gather more responses and to get it right. Together, we can make Scotland the best place in the world for BSL users to live, work, visit and learn. Thank you 14/14 #BSLForAll

Many are still frustrated with the lack of connection and hardly any engagement and participation, communication or collaboration from the Scottish Government over the last few years. The Scottish Government are accountable to the people of Scotland, including BSL users. 13/14

Contributing to the @scotgov draft #BSLNationalPlan 2023-2029 was one of the worst and poorest consultations for #BSLUsers in #Scotland. During the summer months, nine weeks is bad and limits #BSL users’ engagement and participation. Many consultations take around 12 weeks. 1/14
