A big day ahead representing #deaf athletes, sharing my experiences & amplifying the need for #equality in the world of #sport. A failed system hides my existence so an important day in the fight for what’s right.

@nickferrarilbc.bsky.social is like a pig in muck!
And joining him soon to chuck dirt everywhere but mainly towards Rodney will be the muck chucker supreme, ‘leader’ of the opposition.
*Take care on your wishes*
With Rodders gone, a true leader will emerge and it could be a woman like #LisaNandy

Hey @lisanandy
Is there anything, anything at all, you can do to sort out our media? They’re crucifying Labour daily. I voted for you and I want to hear what you’re up to as my elected government.
Thank you in advance.

The BBC is worth saving it stopped the UK going the way of the US which is why the Daily Mail hated it. BBC News has now been corrupted completely. #UKLabour have to do something about Robbie Gibb. #LisaNandy
They’re selling a man, who wants to bring ICE over here, to the British public.

You prevent deaf children from feeling included.

@LisaNandy very impressive on #LBC this morning. Calm, confident, insightful and authoritative. Her answers on Trump, Greenland and our ‘special’ relationship with the US were especially strong.

Poor #LisaNandy. The lines to take about Trump's fascist America haven't really worked for a while. Trotting them out to Lewis Goodall on #LBC this morning is really quite painful to hear

She is awfull, #LisaNandy had the measure of her which no doubt upset reDUKKK Laura even more
#BbcLaurak Laura very cross Starmer hasn’t fixed this latest Trump tantrum yet …I imagine she’d have been equally forthright and disrespectful if Farage had dragged his carcass out of bed 🙃
