Claim it's not truly treated like a national day
Tynwald Day is not a highlight of the year for the Manx nationalist party.
That's according to Mec Vannin's Mark Kermode, who's been speaking to Manx Radio from its stall on the fair field in St John's.
Mec Vannin has been campaigning for Manx independence for more than half a century.
Though today is the Isle of Man's national day, Mr Kermode says it's not truly treated like one:
Ministers 'must hold chief officers to account' over budgeting
Treasury minister faces questions about contingency funds and spending in Tynwald
Over 200 vehicles stopped during Operation UpliftÂ
Five motorists were arrested for drink or drug driving
Tynwald backs first annual update on Autism Strategy
But concerns raised over funding, assessments and lived experience
Tynwald rejects call for new committee to review financial and eGaming regulation
Members instead back a government-framed statement emphasising confidence, stability and readiness for next year’s MONEYVAL assessment.
