Stroke of genius putting Martin Lewis on the GMB presenting roster. Stunning results at moments like this.

So proud of Jack Thorne Genevieve Barr Ruth Madeley Arthur Hughes and the whole team behind #ThenBarbaraMetAlan . An uncompromising, joyous, righteous show that will undoubtedly change minds - and let disabled people feel seen. Also, excellent use of the term “that Tory twat.”

Those are real tears in my eyes during the final scene #ThenBarbaraMetAlan

The film is groundbreaking, it was made by disabled people for disabled people.

It's our history & our ongoing fight for equality. This is why we deserve to tell our own stories. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

Prof Katherine Runswick-C Whilst writing that strategy they were instructing Government Lawyers to argue that subtitles were suitable… no need for an Interpreter 🤷🏻‍♂️

High Court has ruled that govt breached the Equality Act by not providing British Sign Language interpreters for its Covid briefings. These briefings were essential in keeping safe but were not accessible to thousands who use BSL. Well done Katie Rowley for bringing this case

Congratulations to Kate Rowley, Chris Fry and Lynn Stewart-Taylor for today’s court judgment! The Govt has been held to account and the comments on on-platform interpreting are gold dust! Hats off to you all! 👍👏🙌🥳 #whereistheinterpreter
