Very useful advice from @Kinsellas on what to do if you get a SLAPP letter. bylinetimes.com/2024/04/05/law… cc @ukaccoalition

This is such a good thread
We're looking for a Product Manager to join the team @GlobalCanopy for a short term contract in March-May. More here: globalcanopy.org/jobs/terms-of-…. Please share @Morchickit @crowbot @KatieWelford @gisellecory @darkgreener #opendata #productdesign
The consultation is here gov.uk/government/con… Our briefing is here: centreforpublicdata.org/blog/who-reall… We’ll publish our full consultation response soon. If you have thoughts on this, we’d love to hear from you!
And as the consultation acknowledges - trusts now behave like companies in many ways, with many of the same advantages. Our briefing makes a simple argument. If you own property via a trust, your details should be available on the same terms as the rest of us.
Time to get serious. We are today publishing a briefing on trusts, the mysterious legal vehicles that let some very wealthy people own property & land without anyone ever finding out who they are. In this 🧵we’ll explain how this works, why it matters, and what needs changing.
Money launderers and tax evaders! Are you tired of having to tell the UK government about the property you own? Great news! Because there’s a simple way to hide the fact you own that mansion in Mayfair. But… uh oh, the government is consulting on abolishing your loophole. 🧵
Brace, brace: EMF tickets go on sale in February 🚨 Also: Please volunteer and sponsor us. blog.emfcamp.org/2024/01/21/emf…

Today's essay by @zuhaib_pirzada is about how C19th/20th British dam-engineering on the Indus Delta has led to current scarcities of food - a legacy of imperial policies that have neglected indigenous knowledge and redesigned societies for their profit. vittlesmagazine.com/p/bittersweet-…

Previous attemps to recreate the UK's address data had "critical quality issues" Really? A quick🧵 on copy/database rights & legal risks, including bonus topical AI content
#Openaddresses was discussed in the Lords yesterday, during debate on the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill. I've picked out the relevant contributions in a blog post: Open addresses in the House of Lords – what happened? owenboswarva.com/blog/post-addr… #DPDIBill #opendata
I was going to send a tweet about how the main thing we should worry about on housing is letting our major cities expand. But then I remembered…the data doesn’t really back this up* outside London. *If you’re only looking through a housing affordability lens
You can take your pick of measures here, but the story is really all about London and the South East, not major cities. Left is an ONS map of house price to income ratios by local authority. Right is @darkgreener’s map of house prices per m2 by postcode area.
I had previously assumed that housing cost more in big city centres, but @thomasforth corrected me. If you dig deeper into @darkgreener’s map, you can see why. Leeds? Cheaper than rural Yorkshire for the most part. houseprices.anna.ps
@ACJSissons @thomasforth @darkgreener Quality of housing stock - within wider context of quality of place - is a big issue here.
@natalieben Natalie talks about the challenge for small businesses paying for access to address data – and also the opportunities for citizen science and "civic-minded nerds". (She also just name-dropped me, @peterkwells, @darkgreener and @hadleybeeman!)
Here's an open letter to Francis Maude from 15 large corporates – Barclays, Boots, E.ON, Serco, John Lewis, M&S, Sainsbury's, Tesco, and more – calling for release of UK address data for re-use free of charge web.archive.org/web/2012102110… #openaddresses #opendata From 2010, but still.
A Lib Dem peer has proposed an amendment to the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill that would make Parliament, rather than Government, responsible for appointing the Information Commissioner bills.parliament.uk/publications/5… #DPDIBill #dataprotection Presumably just for the lolz
Good to see @natalieben (Green Party) and @tom_watson (Labour) sponsoring a proposal from Lord Clement-Jones (Lib Dem) to unlock the UK national address dataset by amending the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill bills.parliament.uk/bills/3430/sta… #DPDIBill #openaddresses #opendata
Here is Claude 3's system prompt! Let me break it down 🧵
Let’s hope that the government sees sense and fixes this soon. If not, London will have to go its own way.
The London Mayor can help here. At the minimum the Mayor can pressure national government. But there are other options available - for instance London government could cut a deal directly with Royal Mail to make the PAF available freely to London based tech businesses.
The Centre for Public Data have helpfully published a guide to how this can be done nationally: static1.squarespace.com/static/5ee7a7d…
And there’s gathering momentum for freeing the PAF - it’s been taken up by my colleague Lord Clement-Jones recently: takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/p/the-house-of…
A back of the envelope calculation, based on Danish experience, is that this would make London £20m a year richer - but it could easily be much more given the size of our tech sector.
We know that this is a good idea - because lots of other countries make this data freely available - including the whole EU by the end of this year, as well as the US, Australia and New Zealand.
