Marsha de Cordova Blind
Marsha was born with nystagmus and is registered blind. In the year 2017, Labour’s shadow disabilities minister needed to give a parliamentary response to the government’s proposals for its new work and health programme. But the MP in question, Marsha de Cordova, couldn’t read it. This MP for Battersea in south London is registered blind and needs all documents in large print. But the large-type version didn’t reach her office until late evening, long after the issue had been debated.
De Cordova’s typical working environment in parliament highlights some of the issues facing the 360,000 registered blind or partially sighted people in the UK. Large-print versions of government documents typically arrive later than standard issue papers, according to de Cordova’s parliamentary team.
While her colleagues rushed to pick up copies of the autumn budget paper immediately after the chancellor announced it in parliament last week, De Cordova’s readable version wasn’t ready until the next day. Her office was still waiting, eight days in, for a large print copy of the Office for Budget Responsibility’s response statement.
Marsha de Cordova BBC News
The BBC just confused Labour MP Marsha de Cordova for Dawn Butler, and it’s really not OK. The BBC had to apologise for mistakenly playing footage of LeBron James in its coverage of the death of his fellow basketball star Kobe Bryant.
Paul Royall, the editor of BBC News at Six and Ten, tweeted after the error, saying: “We apologise for this human error which fell below our usual standards on the programme.”
But people were, rightly, quick to call out that this is what happens when there is a lack of diversity in newsrooms. Marsha de Cordova and Dawn Butler have had to call out the BBC for mixing up two people of colour in their reporting yet again.
Footage of Battersea MP Cordova, who is the shadow minister for disabled people, speaking in the Commons was played in a BBC report. However, the BBC displayed the name of MP for Brent Central and Labour deputy leadership candidate, Butler.
Butler was quick to respond, tweeting: @BBCNews @BBCPolitics I love my sister @MarshadeCordova but we are two different people. Marsha is amazing and deserves to be called by her own name. Diversity in the workplace matters it also helps to avoid making simple mistakes like this.”
Cordova added: “@BBCPolitics @BBCParliament this is what happens when the media does not represent the society it reports on. Representation matters. Diversity matters. This cannot continue.”
