Ireland's GDP numbers aren't comparable to other developed nations: big corporations route big chunks of money through there, without material impact on the local economy. Compare Irish wealth or income figures and you'll see this clearly.

Congratulations to the new members-elect for Douglas South, Claire Christian & Paul Quine. I'm sorry to have fallen at the final count by such a narrow margin, but the public very rarely get it wrong. I'm sure that Mrs Christian and Mr Quine will be fine servants of Douglas South

The decision of the Isle of Man police to post pictures of them training to use tasers on people in the back when there are worldwide protests against excessive use of force is at best tone deaf, and at worst inflammatory and intimidating of Manx people.

Even if what she said was true, and that it is particularly harmful to children (I doubt it is) then that seems to further undermines an OHSA mandate, since children generally have low labour force participation rates (because they're children!)

Literally no one would damn the Chief Minister if he told us the truth openly, honestly and promptly. We understand pandemics are tough - which is why we want to just be treated like adults, and told of the decisions as soon as they're made.

If there are huge numbers of people reporting positive test results for COVID-19, the problem isn't the phone system.

It’s as the service is facing a large influx of calls, many for this reason.
