10/11 We need to get to much better granular data instead of muddy national averages, so the public can see themselves in the data. The @Census2021 will be really important in this #DataManifesto
9/11 We need tools to counter misinformation without undermining free speech, especiallyduring elections @FullFact The role of the @UKStatsAuth in calling out misuse of statistics needs to be maintained #DataManifesto
