Binface for the win!

Deque’s new report on EAA enforcement draws on direct insights from monitoring bodies to recommend 3 concrete steps orgs can take to align with what regulators are looking for as they assess whether an organization is making reasonable progress: accessibility.deque.com/eaa-one-year... #a11y

This is class!

About bloody time. Hope to see more politicians follow suit

Great to see the European Accessibility Act (EAA) getting some teeth, at least in France. Hoping to see other European countries following suit with hefty fines, which I think they will www.deque.com/blog/frances...

Gosh yeah, focusing on health, education, family finances, social care and online safety for kids would be terrible! Definitely not a vote winner!

The momentum continues in Munich. Another electric series of conversations surrounding the European Accessibility Act (EAA) yesterday. Thanks to all who joined us! Special thanks to our friends at @nexerdigital.com. #a11y

Picked 4 teams in the World Cup sweepstake. Thought that I must pick at least one good one in there. Got Bosnia & Herzegovina, Morocco, Uruguay and Iraq #longshot

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this conundrum and, about a decade ago, ran a small cross-party programme on tech literacy for MPs. A quick 🧵 about why MPs know so little about tech.

Dear all organisations, You don't need a Design Director who works in Figma. You don't need a Director who spends their time making a design system. What you need, is a Director who can understand your market and users, challenge assumptions, & find innovative new ways forward. Strategy > Figma

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Closing keynote #CampDigital 💪

Funny, warm talk from Tessa Quinn on delivering the Ukrainian resettlement scheme. So much to learn. The importance of agile actionable user research. It’s not so much about making the right decision - as about avoiding the wrong one. Those are different things. #CampDigital

Love this framework for nurturing a creative culture from @laurayarrow.bsky.social #CampDigital. Psychological safety the essential, underpinning component

Fantastically hopeful start to the day - from @rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social - bringing much needed optimistim and a call to activism and collective action. Let’s all join. Let’s all do it now. societyforhopefultechnologists.org/ #CampDigital

"Confidence is not an entry ticket. Confidence is a receipt" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Tell me there's no poetry in the tech sector. A lightning talk at Camp Digital, once again from someone whose name I failed to catch, and I REALLY regret that, because that is extraordinary stuff.

The sound of 500 people talking about hope ❤️ (sound on!)

A charity shop in Bristol is about to score some nerdy book donations! If anyone at #CampDigital wants any of them I can probably bring a couple up in my bag - they are all hardbacks so weight is an issue!

This is an excellent article

Not sure why this isn't on Civil Service Learning but it still beats paying a fortune to an external provider. Does make me wonder what ever happened to the cross-gov DDaT BA community I spent such a long time working on setting up back in the day... cddo.blog.gov.uk/2026/04/24/a...
