Congratulations Angela Rayner on your appointment as Deputy Prime Minister. It's always great to see public figures role-modelling inclusion, and we've loved seeing Angela's posts sharing her sign language skills. Here's a throwback to her Sign Language Week post this year. https://lnkd.in/d6J5U_Si

Really?! No BSL interpreter for this moment of national importance Keir Starmer? This shows a total lack of respect and care for the UK’s deaf BSL users, who deserve to be able to have this historic information at the same time.

Deaf people have been left in limbo: we still don’t know if there will be a British Sign Language interpreter there when Keir Starmer gives his first speech as our new Prime Minister. 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 too.
