Replying to @jo_bartosch
He once stood in Parliament, and went on Radio 4, to state that the average salary for legal interpreters was 'in 6 figures'. At the time the official figure was 25k. He wasn't challenged or corrected. An odious, lying scumbag.

Baroness Morris: people are suffering due to faults in #mojfwa. #mojfwa is badly going wrong and needs radical change. #1nt @sarahsackman says she very much looks forward to reading the psc's report, and she's not just saying that, she really does mean it! - Right yeah ok!

Sackman says 80 courts a year will be updated to accommodate AI and machine learning- implying that basic #1nt requirements like decent audio quality in @hmctsgovuk will just have to wait! #mojfwa

Sarah Sackman on AI in the courts and #1nt: recognise potential, also risks and sensitivities. Lodestar of Access to Justice (wtf does Lode star mean, someone please? If I ever have to interpret that word I don't want to be stuck) #mojfwa

Baroness Morris: kindly follow up in writing about pay; we seek it to be index linked across duration of contract. And also tell us about ££ for training. #1nt #mojfwa

#mojfwa What are market rates? What is the #1nt market? Will new pay rates be index linked to inflation. Answer: "price per quality point methodology." Bla bla, @hmctsgovuk holds forth unpersuasively about KPIs. "If that entails additional pay for Interpreters, then so be it"

Sarah Sackman struggling to know the difference between Interpreters and translators, but still confident to pontificate on why we are leaving our profession en masse: "Brexit" . So ignorant! #1nt #mojfwa

2/2 talk about complaining about #1nt but complaints about @@hmctsgovuk. Sarah Sackman appreciates what #1nt do, but is now disrespecting the English language by talking about star lodes again. #mojfwa

On pay: £18 to £24 per hour. Interpreters made to negotiate every assignment. Interpreters feel they've been undervalued, lack of status, poor communication, late payments, poor rates. @mojgovuk has so many problems, but #mojfwa goes unaddressed, dysfunctional. 1/2
