    One of the many things I’ve seen Labour pass that’s made me think “wait this wasn’t a thing already?!”

      The government are amazingly far behind when it comes to technology. About a decade ago the job centre ended up having to get sued into updating their website, because it was designed for old 800x600 CRT displays with white text on a lime green background. Much of the text was actually images of text so you couldn’t search anything. Zero accessibility.
