For unknown reasons the Number 10 media team still doesn't have anything official on Bluesky so I spent 15 mins vibe-coding up this which automatically shares @andyburnham.bsky.social 's Instagram and TikTok posts. @unofficialandy.bsky.social #AndyBurnham Please share away!
Evening crew! This week's pod!
James O'MalleyNew YIMBY Pod! - @mjrobbins.com and I talk about Burnham's first moves on energy, housing and tech (and Martin tries to cancel David Attenborough). - And we speak to @roadscholar.bsky.social about his big plan to build a Trans-Pennines tunnel with dynamite. www.abundancepod.com/p/solving-th...
This week's pod is a fun one, and perhaps a good episode with which to try our pod for the first time, if you've not listened before:

What's grim about this is that the numbers involved are almost comically small – it needs £2.8m! (Can we just cap bus fares at £2.01 instead?)
James O'MalleyTerrible news. Aside from learning more about the universe, we're not going to get much economic growth by cutting science funding. (If only we had a Prime Minister who was interested in supporting the north, and Manchester in particular, who could stop this.) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
