@tonyofsidcup Hi Tony, just to confirm, I’m afraid there’s no way to get a csv of an individual MP’s voting history. Sorry about that. Best wishes, Laura

@ParliDigital Thank you. But no way to get an MP's voting history in one go?

@ParliDigital Team, can I find a CSV somewhere with MPs votes?

@tonyofsidcup Hi Tony, I don't think there is, but I'm double checking. I'll get back to you to confirm.

The latest stage of PDS’s work to improve Parliament’s transparency registers has focused on improving how the information is presented to those most interested in analysing it, for example researchers and journalists. Read our new blog ⬇️ pds.blog.parliament.uk/2024/11/27/wor…

@stephen_abbott Hi Stephen, version 1 of the API has launched interests-api.parliament.uk/index.html We’ll be developing it further in the coming months. We’d welcome feedback on it so please do share any in the comments or DM us and we’ll pass it on.

@ParliDigital Any updates on the delivery of external API for the Register of Members Interests? pds.blog.parliament.uk/2024/04/17/cha…

@PropVoting Hi, apologies for the delay in replying. We didn’t see this message. There was a technical issue with the data being sent to Parliament Now earlier this week, but it has now been resolved so it should be working properly when Parliament sits on Monday. Sorry for the issue.

@ParliDigital The Parliament Now site seems stuck at the moment. The Commons is sitting, but nothing is showing? Do you look after this service?

Parliament publishes a lot of different content for lots of different audiences. It’s really important that all our content is clear and accessible. So today we’ve launched our first content policy. Find out more from our Head of Content, Joe > pds.blog.parliament.uk/2024/10/11/why…

@ParliDigital hey any news on when the Parliamentary petitions site will be live again?

Libby Kurien blogs about her team's experience of creating a healthy mistakes culture, promoting a growth mindset, and improving the health of the team. Read the full blog > pds.blog.parliament.uk/2024/05/16/a-h… [6]

It's not that we celebrate mistakes, but we do approach them with a growth mindset. We learn from them. And spotting mistakes early can allow us to fix issues quickly, saving time and money in the long-term. [5]

Being open about mistakes doesn’t come naturally to a lot of people. In many areas of life, we’re encouraged to always present the best version of ourselves. Showing fallibility at work can be particularly tough. [1] 🧵
