I sincerely believe that @MetroMayorSteve wants to do better on social care. But when it comes to #AssistiveTech and the huge cost saving on offer, @lpoolcouncil has a service that directs you to "google it yourself". There is a better way...
Thanks @GregBroadhurst - every disability organisation and business supporting disabled people can now build a @kerbcut
Knowing of the excellent work @hminto has done over time in the Assistive Technology field, if you are keen to see how AT can help people, give @kerbcut a follow over on YouTube.
Good first video to explain Kerbcut, I will be keen to follow the journey

This is so odd. @TorstenBell who never uttered the word “rugby” before becoming the non-Welsh MP for Swansea is fighting for the @ospreys because he wouldn’t want to be the mp who watched them disappear. Not good for electoral success I suspect.
But why oh why is he not.. /1
..corralling the actual Welsh MPs @NiaGriffithMP @jessicamordenmp and @JoStevensLabour to fight to save Welsh rugby? He’s a senior figure in the party. I’m sure they’d respond.
How we all feel right now. (Not a political endorsement).

We’re committed to creating new opportunity for people and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, and ensuring America remains a trusted and reliable tech partner for the United Kingdom.
That’s why today we announced a $30 billion investment in the UK over four years, including building the country's largest supercomputer with over 23,000 of the world’s most advanced GPUs, to expand the digital infrastructure that will bring our two nations even closer together.
Great to see our relationship with Barclays go from strength to strength.
Barclays is scaling Microsoft 365 Copilot to 100,000 employees, putting AI in every employee’s hands.
This will simplify how they access information, get things done, and make Copilot the UI for Barclays AI. ukstories.microsoft.com/feat…
