If you're in the #UK and want to get more involved in local/government politics using data and action, I'd really recommend #mySociety's (sadly the organisation's not on Fedi) services. Plus, they're all #Libre Software and #OpenSource (#FOSS)!

Is there an existing API which maps postcodes to the new UK #GeneralElection constituency boundaries? And either the same tool or a different one which lets you look up candidates standing in those new constituencies?
It's the sort of thing I'd expect #MySociety to have, but I'm not seeing anything on their website. I'm a bit out of the #ukpolitics loop these days, so 
TheyWorkForYou is 20 years old and is starting a new project!
TWFY is a stalwart of British online democracy, a tool for tracking MPs and their voting interests and enabling their constituents to contact them directly.
Their new project: WhoFundsThem — is self-explanatory in its importance.

@pre TL;DR the new Labour MP was previously a Tory MP and was subject to the Tory whip in the Commons, and therefore voted accordingly.
The "#TheyWorkForYou" vote tracker is routinely mentioned by #MySociety as one of their biggest regrets because it is almost always used solely for social media dunks.
The #mySociety local intelligence hub is interesting. I'm actually learning new things about my area (and others I've tried). Much more useful than these sort of things usually are.
Interesting to see that we're below average on supporting tidal energy, particularly given the mayor's continued tub-thumping for a massive tidal barrage across the Mersey.
Chuffed that our work with #mySociety to provide a Welsh-language basemap for #FixMyStreet features in their highlights of 2023! :
Sharing how I use RSS to track weak signals of what my local council (and other local public bodies) is up to (and/or what my fellow citizens care about w.r.t. them)

Mae fersiwn Gymraeg o’r wefan FixMyStreet bellach ar gael… Gwefan ac ap yn seiliedig ar fap yw hi, sy’n helpu pobol ledled y Deyrnas Unedig i roi gwybod i’w hawdurdod lleol am broblemau sy’n gofyn am sylw, megis tyllau yn y ffyrdd, lampau stryd wedi torri a llu o broblemau eraill all fod yn codi o ddydd i ddydd.
