He may be a brand new Prime Minister...but he's been in Parliament before.

Have you been feeling these heatwaves? That may depend on how well your council is doing on adaptation & resilience to climate change - something you can find out on the Council Climate Action Scorecards. Isaac from @climateemergencyuk.bsky.social's here to tell you more.

It can be hard to know which of your elected representatives to contact, especially where you have more than one council, or perhaps live in an area with a devolved parliament. Improvements to WriteToThem make it easier to get your message to the right place: www.mysociety.org/2026/07/29/i...

154,496 is the number of successful FOI requests made on WhatDoTheyKnow this year, bringing previously hidden information into the open.

Governmental use of AI systems is growing at a speedy pace, but In many cases we still do not have enough basic information about it - what's being used and how is it affecting people's lives? We gathered experts to discuss the solutions.

What do we need to better understand government use of AI?

We think it should be easier to reliably answer the basic questions: what AI systems are public bodies using? How are those systems affecting people?

Public opinion does make a difference. We talked to @infocommission.bsky.social and found out how they've improved transparency around sewage spills - and it started with increased complaints about water companies: www.mysociety.org/2026/07/30/t...

There's already a wealth of information about Burnham on TheyWorkForYou - you can check his past voting records and financial interests, for example.

He may be a brand new Prime Minister...but he's been in Parliament before.
