Is this just Global News or World Service too? WS used to be on AMP because of React not playing nicely when it comes to regional data costs and end user tech.
If they binned that then they forgot their audience.

So far the best one I’ve seen, which was on a client’s site, was 11 carouses on one page that also has a duplicate main navigation between the 11th and the footer.
And if it was the first page you landed on you got a modal that linked to a modal that linked to a modal.

There’s a few…
- Voiceover isn’t announcing the state changes.
- Nothing moves focus into the content when expanded auto closes when focus leaves the region.
- Everything seems to flatten header semantics inside the <summary> element.
I can kinda understand 3, but the rest are baffling.

A6. People in general struggle to imagine what disabled people are capable of, which is a fundamental aspect of ableism. Despite being skilled and capable, they are often overlooked for employment or promotion because of an inability to imagine on the behalf of the decision makers? #AXSChat

A6. I had the same at school. I sat on “The Thick Table” in primary school, and was failed miserably in secondary. After a while I had other ideas, and ended up making my own luck. #AXSChat

A6. Ableism. People grow up being taught, often with gradual subconscious messaging, that nothing should be expected from disabled people. The twin of this is that when disabled people achieve something it is seen as miraculous. An anomaly. Both are harmful and work in tandem. #AXSChat
