Incredible that no-one told you about 🌱🌳🛣️ overgrown verges and weed growing into the gutters, lifting pavements and blocking the drains 🙉 councillors blocking constituents on social media who criticise them and blocking from community groups 🗑️💻 online booking for the tip causing problems

Supposing is the entire purpose of this app. Good to hear there’s an alternative view. Note that Noah comes back with the easy riposte, but has nothing to say to the person challenging him on his inaccessible content. There’s part of the problem. It’s selective.

Ofc I don’t speak for the public. Maybe look at the data? Govt trust is at an all time low. If you’re happy with low rent stunts for clicks, carry on. www.edelman.com/sites/g/file...

My mp @laylamoran.bsky.social put an EDM forward for Harry Kane to be knighted for beating DRC. It’s silly season all round. The public sigh into their cornflakes.

I understand it. I understand the grandstanding. I despair at the calibre of this cohort in Parliament who think witty stunts replace the hard work of building this country up. Please publish the reply that you won’t receive, and see other comment re accessibility for constituents - your actual job

I try not to criticise parliamentarians, but this truly is pathetic. Do better. You work on our time.

Last night on Any Questions @laylamoran.bsky.social talking about young people - “Most of them have a side-hustle or three.” I would love to see her evidence for this. Most young people are not even getting their first role. All the time ignoring the question on student debt crisis her party led on

Hector Minto @hminto.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

My interpretation is that they’re breaking the rules. I am consistently blocked from the info they give to residents in Abingdon over Facebook for publicly disagreeing with them. The buck stops with you as their highest level party official. Can you look into this?

Hector Minto @hminto.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Hey. @laylamoran.bsky.social I finally got some spare time and found out that the FOI regulations mean that, more than just the ability to request info, public figures cannot selectively withhold information they put out on public channels in their role. Can you help me with yr Cllrs Ley et al?

Today we're publishing our research on disability workforce and pay gap reporting. We found that making it mandatory, as proposed by the UK government, helps measure diversity, but often at the expense of improving inclusion. Find out more: ow.ly/bp2F50Vj1eZ

This will mean more tech companies coming to the table. This will mean more procurement conversations asking the simple questions. This will mean a more inclusive wider cross- industry led society

Hector Minto @hminto.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

This will mean more assistive tech including specialist solutions. This will mean more training for accessibility testing roles. This will mean more training for the unmet need we drive.

Great meetings this week, building cross-business strategies for accessibility. We need to consistently link disability hiring to digital #accessibility buy-in. Internal championing, a sense of internal need, makes a huge difference. This is Horizon 123 thinking.

Delighted to reach people across govt on #accessibility horizon thinking. It’s how we can break out of silo thinking and link inclusive hiring to inclusive product. www-government--transformation-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.gove...

I still think putting Microsoft Edge on your phone is the best way to demonstrate accessibility to people in everyday conversation. The reader mode exposure for dyslexia, literacy support, font, spacing etc drives awareness.

Can you make this place #Inclusive from the start? 3 simple things: 1. #CamelCase hashtags for readability for #Neurodivergent & screenreader users 2. Add captions on vids for global audience 3. The alt-txt field isn’t working yet so adding img/video description like the next post for now
