REFORM UK have been accused of aiming to “lock deaf people out of democracy” after one of the party’s MSPs suggested they would try to ban the use of sign language in Scottish elections.
Max Bannerman, a Reform MSP who represents the Highlands and Islands at Holyrood, claimed on Tuesday that he would be “introducing a bill to the Scottish Parliament to ensure that future Scottish elections are fought in Gaelic, Scots, and English only”.
