Further details on what the VAT reduction will apply to will be issued shortly. This is in line with the Customs and Excise agreement with the UK, and follows announcements made today by UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak MP. A 5% VAT rate already applies to accommodation in the Isle of Man.

You fool

Birch Hill, Farmhill and the airport..... That's the real plan !

you're a total knobhead

If there was a 1m or 2m restriction I could envisage some people having an issue with the return to school, however with social distancing down to zero the capacity issues are negated - as are the issues around primary kids playing perhaps the desc will grant parents who choose to keep kids off until September with leniency. i dont know. but its going to be very difficult now (for teachers, parents or indeed the desc) to make a coherent argument to keep schools closed

it would be helpful if the nature of the alleged offences was stated, or whether or not it directly relates to the deaths

keep them in case of a 2nd wave :-)

I dont think any of the wonderful journalists asked about Schools. But we did get a question about dinner parties. More wonderful journalism. Tackling the issues that really matter !

Q: How many people are still being quarantined in the Comis hotel Brilliant journalism !

Leisure and hospitality - pubs, clubs, cinemas, sport, etc. - all remaining restrictions will be removed sooner rather than later. Announcements early next week.

Legal requirements for social distancing will be removed from Monday.

you obviously have no idea how major airlines work
