A play like NYE, which showcases a man who is remembered as one of the most iconic and emblematic figures in Welsh and British history, as someone who stammered throughout his life, is crucial today, in a political environment that denigrates disfluency: xitter.cf/stammer/status/1791082…
Yesterday, as the Leader of the Opposition stumbled across a phrase, the Prime Minister made a jab about the moment of disfluency implying he is unfit to be a leader. Such thoughtless mockery of disfluency in 2024: we need this to change, and now. @Keir_Starmer @RishiSunak

I want to give a shout out to @leonrestaurants Kings X around service for people who stammer. Just ordered with some speech difficulty and the person who served me was patient and caring. Not always the case at coffee shops. @stammer #stammer #stutter #itsOK2stammer
