UK local government is at a pivotal moment.

As PD Director Gavin Beckett writes, it’s time to start building dynamic service organisations to respond to the challenges of today.

Our event on 27 November will explore how we can build a movement across the sector.

Oh wow! We went back to spend a weekend with a college friend two years ago, and made a special effort to visit and have a Gardenia burger for the first time in 30 years… seeing this news, very glad we did 🫶🏽

The UK Gov Camp logo, which look like a fireball heading right. The top half is blue and rest is red. In the middle is a white line that looks like the river Thames.

UKGovCamp 2026 ( #ukgc26 ) will be in #Birmingham on Saturday 17 January 2026.

We need a venue:
1️⃣ for 250 people,
2️⃣ 8 breakout rooms,
3️⃣ wheelchair accessible.

@imhuyorks.bsky.social is leading the search.

Please share and reply with ideas 🙂

Ha ha… we could do that too

👀 did I hear Weymouth mentioned??? I’m in…

Ahh it looked so amazing via the interwebs, so pleased it went well for you (of course everyone else loved it!) 🥰 Wish I could have seen it IRL instead of snippets via social media 😁 See you in Bristol for a catch up soon I hope!

🤯😱

Absolutely loved your talk and clips from the film 🫶🏽 today

Looking forward to my first @localgov.digital event of the year… at AWS HQ to listen and talk about how AI is being used in local public services. And to share some thoughts from a @publicdigital.bsky.social perspective about the value of test and learn to help us avoid false certainty around AI

A massive thank you to Emily @civicdatacoop.bsky.social, Adam @merseycarenhs.bsky.social, Michael @socialfinance.bsky.social, Sam @opendatamcr.bsky.social and Ste @sthelenscouncil.bsky.social for a brilliant Data Bites, and everyone in Liverpool for welcoming us!

French supermarket crisps are amazing. I always try as many new flavours as possible when we are over on hols 😁

Based on eps1-3 I’m expecting my personal score will be in line with yours! Wow, all three were great, and in Ep3 particularly I loved the way scenes from the books have been transformed into live TV 😍🔥 And you are so right about the pacing and cuts between characters/locations - so well done 🙌🏽

Just watched ep2 of s3 #TheWheelofTime and it was fantastic 🤩 contains so much book content and great TV… @amazonprime.bsky.social @sonypicturestv.bsky.social we love it, get season 4 greenlit now!

Really enjoyed watching the fan event screening of s3 ep1 of Wheel of Time 🤩

@amazonprime.bsky.social @sonypicturestv.bsky.social @thewheeloftime.bsky.social

We need season 4 greenlit now!!

#wheeloftime #amazonprime #sonypictures

So good! Just watched your latest about rumours re: s4 and have started my latest re-watch of s1 and s2… very excited about s3 😍🤩 #wheeloftime

Gov.uk: Are we ready for an AI Revolutionpublic digitalpublic digital Dai Vaughn blogs in response to Kier Starmer's announcement on investment in AI

"Understanding user needs, designing effective systems, and fostering a culture of adaptability are just as crucial as the technology itself."

Yes AI, this applied to you too.

Great stuff from @publicdigital.bsky.social and @daivaughan.uk

First tell me about what happened to the last next big thing

As AI adverts appear and crypto disappear…

Techbros and politicians never close off their design fictions or manifesto speeches when they fail to deliver.

People remember and resent those unfinished stories

It's generally not outdated technology that stymies simpler, cheaper and more empathetic public services.

It's outdated culture, processes and operating models.

Do it! Lovely to see you yesterday 😊

🥰 thanks! Lovely to see you and meet you little guy

I agree with the sentiment. Definitely a lot of folks I would have loved to chat to in more depth! But at least the reason I didn’t was because I was having other in depth chats!!

I didn’t post all day at #ukgovcamp25 because I was having so many conversations that took up all my concentration - and still didn’t speak to everyone I’d have liked to! Went to several good sessions and enjoyed the contributions. And really loved showing up as part of @publicdigital.bsky.social 🥰

It’s #ukgc25 today! 🥳

See you both there!
