GOV.UK waved goodbye to a good 'un today. Good luck with your next adventures @timlb 🫡 gov.uk/humans.txt?tim…

@nicprice @rossferg It's a venerable slogan! webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20120706…

Big fan of new GOV.UK homepage that's being tested. Particularly keen on the change of 'Topics' to 'Services and information' in the menu. And 'Popular on GOV.UK' looks legit. 👏

@DilwoarHussain @GDSTeam Hope you're OK. Look after yourself 🤗

Get sent a free sim as part of a @virginmedia contract, which they sell on to @O2 . O2 then start charging for the (unused) sim, only try to contact you via the unused number and then send you a debt collection notice. Brilliant work everyone 👏

Are you an experienced engineer wanting work on something that has real positive impact? At GDS we apply the culture, processes, business models and technologies of the internet era to deliver for our users. Two critical Lead Tech Arch roles coming up at GDS [1/4] 🧵

1/2 Safely to @Glastonbury. Major 5G infrastructure deployment by the mobile operators. My research indicates: @EE: 7 temp sites & two permanent sites, @VMO2News: 8 temp sites, @ThreeUK: Five temp sites, @VodafoneUK: 9 temps.

@has_many_books It just needs a chariot and then you're all set for racing 👍

Also, only a few days left to apply for one of the most important Product gigs in government - Head of Product at GOV.UK. Three Deputy Directors, three lead PMs, umpteen teams, some great fellow-Head-ofs, plus me to bounce ideas off. civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi?j…

@watsoncomedian Sometimes there's neither rum nor raisin when somebody does this

Overheard, woman on the phone, very animated: 'No! That is the last time I bring ice-cream to your house!' Not easy to imagine what has brought them to this crisis point.

📢Calling pals / alumni @Justice_Digital and elsewhere! Here @CitizensAdvice we're looking for acquired wisdom on forms strategy e.g. how do we enable all product teams to build forms in an easy, repeatable way - would love to chat! Replies, DMs, and RTs welcome 😀
