The NPF’s programme only mentions the digital economy once, and this is to promise more speed, everywhere it can go. There are two internal pressure group style swarms\/groups\/initiatives. <\/p>\n
The first is launched by the front bench incubated if not commissioned by the impressive Chi Onawaruh MP<\/a>, currently shadow spokesperson for the Cabinet Office. This has it’s home at this site<\/a>, so they’ve done well to get the name, you’d think that HMG would have got that although the fact it’s not .gov.uk is a clue. Chi publicised the initiative at in an article at Labour List called How can we make Digital Government work better for everyone?<\/a>. The site shows a great deal of thought has been undertaken in launching this site.<\/p>\n The second initiative is @LabourDigital, which has a web site, http:\/\/www.labourdigital.org<\/a>, and a now familiar New Labour bit bucket crowd sourcing site. In this case, it’s an email address! I have just subscribed so let’s see how proactive they are. The also have, I think, a Google+ profile<\/a>. It takes some detective work to find out and the last post is Nov 2013.<\/p>\n The launch took place at Google’s London Campus and the key speakers were Martha Lane Fox, Lord Parry Mitchell and John McTernan which I attended and met some jolly interesting people, you know who you are. The launch was flagged\/reinforced by the following articles,<\/p>\n I have made this a wiki site article, because I may need to extend it as my ideas develop, certainly the Review will take some thought.<\/p>\n Prag Rad are running a Digital top of the Manifestoes event on 13th May 2014<\/p>\n ooOOOoo<\/p>\n\n
