The Liberal Democrats’ 2017 Manifesto
No comments on The Liberal Democrats’ 2017 ManifestoI am happy to endorse the manifesto that the Liberal Democrats have published for the 2017 General Election. Which is just as well, really.

The programme is now well under way and the first art works have appeared in the town centre. I’ve been involved with Luton Culture for a long while now and I am beginning to feel that this might…

Standards for Government Digital Services
I am continuing my exploration of common standards and have been looking at those that can be applied to the provision of services online. Here are some notes. As part of their “digital by default” agenda the UK Government has defined a standard against which the development of government services provided online should be judged against.
