Yeah they openly admitted this would be the case months ago when they published the Mandate for the year Although the Minister flat out denied it - despite it being presented in her own documents in a very easy to understand graph….

Those voting against are the Members of Tynwald who decided Manx workers shouldn’t be entitled to at least a living wage Absolutely shameful

Despite the promise no actual information was given about how those vulnerable people would continue to be protected - no replacement measures for those free phone lines they propose to cut

This will be interesting - as I fully expect it will result in £0 extra for the NHS Treasury will just reduce the amount given to the NHS from general revenue, and spend it on something else. More than happy to be proved wrong but I’ve been on this ride before…

Yup, govt have just abandoned low earners and families Quite a lot of policies going through Tynwald right now that are doing this

Chris Martin has won the by-election to fill the vacant seat on Ramsey Town Commissioners's South Ward #isleofman manx.news/chris-martin-w…

The amendment that says Tynwald Members should just pay for their parking as we used to under the 2015 policy is likely to be supported. Of course Members could just have agreed to the email from a month or two ago asking us to pay (which many of us just did without any fuss…)

The DOI already manages properties in some of our local authority housing districts, this won’t be new Ideally the LA will be the one taking the properties but the DOI is a sensible fall back

I was very pleased to be able to take this Bill through the House of Keys, sterling work by Ms August-Philips MLC and everyone involved in putting the Bill together

I’ve had two motions prepped for a while calling for the censure of different Ministers for misleading Tynwald - but I haven’t tabled them yet, partly because I am convinced Tynwald just won’t be interested in holding anyone accountable

You literally couldn’t make this up They’re happy we will no longer be a living wage island - but even that isn’t going far enough for them, they now want to redefine the ‘median wage’ to make it even lower! Well done CoMin, you complete and utter failures.

It’s good to hear this is now happening Pushing local authorities to step up on housing is one of the reasons I wrote to them soon after taking over the DOI housing portfolio, glad to see it’s had an effect!

It’s good to see the Chief expressing the views of Tynwald to the UK government It’s a shame that a week ago CoMin opposed a Tynwald amendment asking the Chief Minister to write to the UK but I’m glad they came around in the end
