Accessible-ish

Accessibility statement

We are committed to making this website accessible to all citizens, regardless of background, ability, or whether they vote Labour.

1. How accessible this website is

This website is fully accessible to anyone with a working screen, stable broadband, a strong stomach and at least one functioning sense of irony.

2. Known issues

  • Screen readers occasionally refuse to read pledges aloud, citing professional standards.
  • High-contrast mode reveals additional small print previously thought to be a shadow.
  • The "Vote Andy" banner cannot be dismissed by keyboard, mouse, prayer, or judicial review.
  • Some pages auto-play a slowed-down version of "Land of Hope and Glory" when the Mayor is on TV.
  • Tabbing through the homepage occasionally launches a leadership campaign.

3. How accessible the Mayor is

Whilst this website aims to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, the Mayor himself is currently accessible only via:

  • Sympathetic BBC studios.
  • The 192 bus, between 6:42am and 6:44am, on alternate Tuesdays.
  • One (1) authorised tram, on which questions about the leadership are forbidden by byelaw.
  • An app — currently in development — provisionally titled "Find Andy".

4. How accessible the Government is

We have no information on this point. The Cabinet Office was contacted for comment and replied with an automatic out-of-office from June 2024.

5. Reporting accessibility problems

If you encounter an accessibility issue, please report it via our contact form. Your report will be added to a queue, which will then be added to a working group, which will then be added to a review, which will then be added to a 2027 white paper entitled"Building Back Accessibly".

6. Enforcement procedure

In the unlikely event that you remain dissatisfied, you may contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission. They are very busy at the moment. We can't think why.

This statement was prepared on the morning of an announcement and reviewed by literally nobody.
