Hi 🦀 #BenHouchen 🦀fans

It's been a while, but #BensBoondoggles is back

In case you don't know, Bens Boondoggles are photo ops in which the mayor announces some far-fetched pie-in-the-sky project, usually promising 1,000 jobs and £1 billion investment.

And you never hear another thing about it 🧵

So #BensBoondoggles has finally transferred from Twitter to BlueSky.

Stay tuned for more hilarious boondoggles from Ben Houchen, the king of boondoggles😂

Hi🦀 #BenHouchen🦀 fans

It's only a small boondoggle, but I know one of #BensBoondoggles when I see it.

The TVCA's budget for the fiscal year commencing 1st April has been slashed to the bone because Houchen keeps throwing our cash at his tinpot airport
