PERSPECTIVE:

  • Perspective 10.5.26 - more reaction to Mooir Vannin, Clause 5 finally bites the dust and a new pensions Bill

    Why are Garff residents so angry about the Ørsted Mooir Vannin wind farm and is it Ørsted or the government they’ve got in their sites. As the controversial Clause 5 is finally dropped from the Local Government Bill why did it cause such consternation across the local authorities? Also passing through LegCo at the moment is the Retirement Benefits Schemes (Amendment) Bill 2026 which updates our 26 year old legislation so as to enhance consumer protection and enable more effective regulation of the pensions industry. Quite a bit to squeeze in to this week’s Perspective. Were the Island’s local authorities just tilting at windmills over Clause 5?

MANX RADIO SPORT:

  • Peter Hickman - Confidence high ahead of TT 2026 campaign

    The countdown continues towards the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races and we at Manx Radio have been catching up recently with riders and officials involved in the racing fortnight.The focus of this latest episode of the Manx Radio SportsCast is someone who's been a dominant figure at the TT in recent years and is looking to bounce back after a challenging 2025.Last year, Peter Hickman had a challenging season on the Snaefell Mountain Course - an incident during qualifying week saw him ruled out of all of last year's races due to inury.Fast forward to now, and the 14-time TT winner and outright lap record holder is full of confidence in his ability to make his mark yet again over the two week meeting.As well as finding out about his ambitions for this year, Hickman also explains to Manx Radio how different a position the 8TEN Racing team as a whole is in compared to 2025:

AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 18.5.26 - General Debate on the Mandate to Manx Care and Manx Care Operating Plan.

    In April’s Tynwald sitting the Health Minister moved a General Debate on the Mandate to Manx Care and Manx Care Operating Plan. With the recently anounced resignation of Manx Care’s Chief Executive Teresa Cope, I thought it was timely to listen to highlights from the debate. Other than the Minister and Chief Minister just two MHKs took part in the debate. We hear their contributions and a gentle spat between two MLCs who also spoke on this week’s Agenda. Is health spending really under control or is Tynwald just kicking that can of worms down the road?
