Excited for this opportunity. Thinking about the effects of AI techs on the future of work and making sure workers are taken along for the journey is not only an important responsibility but also imperative if we're going to adopt these technologies on a wide ranging scale.
Big news from us: we are delighted to be announcing @aimafidon as our new Co-Chair, @AbbyGKGilbert as Co-Director, and three outstanding new trustees - @ginasue, @sanakb and @Dr_Black - to help steer IFOW as we grow and evolve. Full details here:

So pleased the fantastic Cllr. James Clayton, former #WestonSuperMare Mayor, is supporting me to be @UKLabour candidate here.
Tackling the root causes of crime & antisocial behaviour on our streets will be a hallmark of our bid to make Westminster work for Weston.
