I’m a Mastodon newbie, so kicking off with an #introduction toot. If I master how to use this platform, am likely to chat & share #localgov #communitypower #publicpolicy #thinktanks #ukpolitics #publichealth #healthcare #NHS #growth #economy #socialpolicy #governmentreform #devolution #decentralisation #ukhousing and other #policy #wonky things. Interested to see how this all works and if can connect with fellow curious Twitts in the fediverse…
