It was a joy being part of this and seeing how the kids loved every minute - from the filming and learning to the swivel chairs, wooden loo signs and the massive drill outside @uofgasbs.bsky.social! I reckon Adam Smith may even have been a bit amused (and hopefully he'd enjoy this workshop...)

I don't often need to catch the bus when I do, it always seems to take an age to get where I need to be! This is excellent work by our urban transport experts that looks at hours lost to traffic congestion and what can be done to get us all moving.

Great read on Andy Burnham's social media game (I'll admit I loved his pub snacks ranking!) and why this 'new age of political communication' means entertainment is winning over restraint for politicians across the world.
