Government data, in one place and in plain sight.
UK Government Tracker is an independent, non-partisan dashboard that pulls together official data about what the UK government is doing, and presents it clearly enough that anyone can follow along.
What this is
Information about the UK government is mostly public, but it is scattered across dozens of departmental sites, APIs and statistical releases, each with its own format and update schedule. UK Government Tracker gathers the most useful of it into a single, readable place: live announcements, bills moving through Parliament, recent Commons votes, the economy, the NHS, defence, energy, immigration and crime.
The aim is simple. You should be able to see what is actually happening, drawn straight from the source, without having to dig through press releases or wait for someone else to summarise it for you.
Where the data comes from
Everything here is built on official, public sources, including the GOV.UK content and search APIs, the UK Parliament Bills, Votes and Petitions APIs, the Office for National Statistics, NHS England, the Bank of England and published Ministry of Defence statistics. Where a figure has a source, we try to point you to it so you can check it yourself.
Public sector information used on this site is reused under the terms of the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Independence
UK Government Tracker is not affiliated with, funded by or endorsed by the UK government, Parliament, any political party or any government department. It takes no position on the policies it tracks. The goal is to show the numbers and the activity as they are, and to let you draw your own conclusions.
Who builds it
This is a side project built and maintained by a small independent developer, not a newsroom or a large organisation. It is made in the open, in spare time, because the data deserves to be easier to read than it currently is.
The same developer works on a few other things too, including a project in a completely different corner of the internet.
Our other project: JapaneseVocab
If you are learning Japanese, or thinking about starting, take a look at JapaneseVocab. It is a free web app for learning Japanese vocabulary with spaced repetition, the same proven memory technique that powers tools like Anki and WaniKani. It schedules each word for review at the moment you are about to forget it, so you build a large, durable vocabulary with far less wasted effort. Words are organised by JLPT level, from beginner N5 up to advanced N1, which makes it a practical way to study for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test or simply to read and understand more.
