Our new PM @keir_starmer pledged today outside @10DowningStreet that the @UKLabour government would treat “every single person in this country with respect.” Does that pledge include #Deaf people? Where was the #BSL interpreter as he addressed the UK public for the first time?

Deaf people have been left in limbo: we still don’t know if there will be a BSL interpreter when @Keir_Starmer gives his first speech. We have one here ready and waiting – just give us the nod, Kier, and we’ll help make sure your speech is accessible for deaf people.

@UKLabour @DisabilityLab The UK #Deaf community is desperately hoping that Sir @Keir_Starmer will be standing beside a #BSL interpreter when he addresses the nation for the first time today. @BDA_Deaf has an interpreter ready and waiting outside No. 10. Please work with them!

Hey @WFDeaf_org there is no such thing as neutrality when power or oppression is at play. If you state that you're neutral, you take the side of the oppressor. Human rights aren't pick and mix either, you can't seek to use whilst disregarding other rights. You use public funds.

“By permitting the UAE to host the next World Congress without highlighting LGBTQIA+ issues, @WFDeaf_org could be seen to endorse the UAE’s discriminatory and punitive stance” — @BDA_Deaf
British Deaf Association@BDA_Deaf

Our statement: British Deaf Association voices serious concerns over suitability of the United Arab Emirates to host the next World Federation of the Deaf Congress in 2027 due to country’s anti-LGBTQIA+ stance. BSL: vimeo.com/britishdeafass… #WFD2023 #WFD2027 #Deaf #LGBTQIAplus

@MsLoloJ @FaeroyGlenn @BslSign Ah yes I remember that sign! :) Worth asking our friend Emma this Saturday about it, as I seem to recall Boston Spa friends using it. The "throw a party" sign was another popular one.
