@RBS_Help online hopeless - spent ages being refused access using codes have used for years. Eventually in but chat unable to understand my single request. Has taken 20 minutes getting nowhere. Is there a more direct route?

Yesterday for the first time a female Lady Chief Justice swore in a female Lord Chancellor (officiated by a female Clerk of the Crown). History.

[RNID @RNID]

Congratulations @AngelaRayner 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. ⬇️

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

A Council of the Regions and Nations will change the way the UK is run - and give the North of England more say than ever before.

Historic meeting in Downing Street today.

[British Deaf Association @BDA_Deaf]

We are very proud the Deputy Prime Minster @AngelaRayner has been an advocate of British Sign Language (BSL) having learnt BSL. Now it’s time to ensure BSL is placed in every deaf child’s hands because the system doesn’t offer free BSL to parents of deaf children #BSLinOurHands

[Billie Jean King @BillieJeanKing]

81 years ago today, on July 10, 1943, Arthur Ashe was born.

He was the first Black man to win men's singles at #Wimbledon, the #USOpen, and the #AustralianOpen, and he blazed a trail for so many to follow.

His legacy lives on.

[Fawcett Society @fawcettsociety]

A historic milestone for women, with all signs pointing towards more than 40% women MPs - that’s 260 (the most ever) women in parliament! [1/3]

[Fawcett Society @fawcettsociety]

Huge congratulations to @HackneyAbbott MP, who takes up the mantle as Mother of the House – the longest-standing woman MP.

Diane is a trailblazer, first elected in 1987, and we look forward to working with her in her new position.

[Colchester Labour @ColchesterLab]

Pam Cox elected as the new Labour MP for Colchester. The first woman to ever represent Colchester and the first Labour MP elected since 1945.

An historic moment. It’s time now to serve the people of Colchester and the country.
