The team has been hard at work over the past month to transform the way #ONS presents the latest CPI (inflation) data. Please do share your feedback on this new preview website, especially on the new charts and "facts and figures" sections. nwp-prototype.ons.gov.uk/economy/infl...

We're in the midst of some web and content development work at ONS. The goal is to improve the site for the people who use it.

If that's you (or if it could be you) then please have a look at this very early preview and leave your thoughts on the survey that pops up on it.

We're thrilled to see the UK Office of National Statistics is revamping their web platform with Wagtail! This is a great example of how Wagtail can be used to manage massive amounts of data and content for the public good.

One good explanation is that we’re just not very good at judging the levels of things outside of what we cannot directly observe.

Pretty much *every year*, a big majority of people will say that crime is rising nationally…

My cousin has just started Uni and needs to learn some R. Thought this was my moment to swoop in and look cool*.

Alas, she doesn't need help because she 'just uses Chat GPT'.

*'cool'

Thought I'd better post something. App seems a bit buggy... Can't see what I'm typing.
