So much techno-utopianism about AI, particularly from @InstituteGC, in recent months.
Even the tiniest amount of experience of delivering digital/data/AI systems in the public sector would reveal it's a bit more complicated than that.

New report from us today on how more and more people are being priced out of car insurance.
This isn't felt evenly. Two years on from our first report, we still see an ethnicity penalty with people of colour paying >£300 more for car insurance.
We need solutions from @TheFCA 👇
31 Jul 2024
2 years ago we found that people of colour were paying £250 more for car insurance than white people.
New research shows the gap has widened, and now stands at over £300.
The FCA must act.

#PrideMonth marks the Stonewall riots of June 1969 where people came together to protest for LGBTQ equality.
We celebrate it every year to mark how far the movement has come and what still needs to be done to help ensure fair treatment for all without discrimination 🏳️🌈

Devastating to see NHS funding end for Market Place
For myself and so many other young people in leeds they offer a space to get support free from complex eligibility criteria and lengthy referral forms - a lifeline especially in a crisis

It’s the last year I can access their services, and I firmly hope it’s not the last year young people in leeds can access this vital service. What it could mean is young people having to navigate complex and hard to access mental health services alone

Great to see #BuyNowPayLater on the front page today.
It's 3 years since govt said they would regulate 'as a matter of priority' & over a year since new rules were consulted on.
The govt could make this happen tomorrow, protecting millions of people. Here's why they must: 🧵

Free workers rights policy idea for the party manifestoes:
🔵 make employers with 250 staff publish an annual declaration of how many NDAs & settlement agreements they signed off

Just 1 in 10 playgrounds are accessible for disabled children.
Which is why today we @scope launch our Playground Accessibility Map.
We've crowdsourced accessibility info about 1,000 playgrounds from families to create this tool to help make play fair

‘If I spoke up about it, I’d be fired on the spot’. Therein is the disconnect between orgs that talk the talk in their HR policies, but where too many employees have stories of racism, misogyny, homophobia and bullying that go unsaid & unchallenged

Here's just a small selection of clips from the huge number of negative Glassdoor reviews made by employees and former employees of Conservative donor Frank Hester's company TPP.
As of now Downing Street is still refusing to label Hester's comments about Diane Abbott as racist.

New blog from me: What's a statutory consumer advocate and why do we matter?
TLDR: We're an early warning system,counterbalance to the powerful industry lobby and get into the weeds of technical debates so consumers don't have to. medium.com/p/586f974b22f3

A new computer system in A&E @CDDFTNHS contributed to the death of a 31-year-old woman.
Coroner was told concerns about the Cerner system had been "raised by a number of clinicians" to no effect.
