Hello and welcome to Number10.gov.uk.
I hope you will find the site full of useful information and that you will use it to submit your questions, ideas and comments and provide feedback to me and the Government about the things that you would like to see us doing more of.
The digital world has undergone a revolution in recent years and continues to develop at a tremendous pace, and we have tried to include lots of exciting and innovative functions on the new website that make good use of those developments while still being easy to use.
The news feature will continue to be central to the site, allowing you to keep up to date with my work as Prime Minister. The new Number10 TV channel will provide a wealth of video material, photos will be updated quickly to the Number 10 Flickr channel, and we’ll also be posting frequent messages through Twitter to keep you in touch with my day to day activities.
Most importantly, I want to hear what you have to say about the issues facing our country today. Our YouTube video channel now has a feature called ‘Ask the PM’, giving you the chance to post video questions to me on a regular basis. The e-petitions service remains a vital tool for communicating your thoughts on things that matter to you and your communities, and I hope you will also sign up to our regular newsletters so that we can keep you informed about everything that is going on. Conversation, after all, should be a two-way process.
Finally, I’d like thank you for visiting the site and for your interest in the work that I and the Government are doing. We hope to make Number10.gov.uk as interesting and interactive as possible, and your involvement will be the single most important factor in making the site a success.
With best wishes,
Gordon Brown
Prime Minister
