Again, my words are being twisted here - I have never said that some CPA trips are not funded by the Manx Taxpayer, but there are many things that are covered and payed for by the CPA Head office in London, but it does depend on the event etc. The Annual Fee paid to the CPA comes out of the Clerk of Tynwald's Budget, which comes from Treasury, which comes from taxes and income etc.

I cant speak for any other Tynwald members, but any mail I send out from the office is invoiced and I pay amount at the end of the month….I have done that for the last six or seven years, it’s far easier than buying stamps every month. To be fair, I probably sent out more letters than most members, and that is the reason why I feel it’s only fair that I pay for the postage.

2112 - happy to explain why I posted a comment on line about Bonds Restaurant in Onchan, especially when I’m fully aware that people are continuing to struggle in the cost of living crisis…. Firstly I was given the great privilege of actually opening the restaurant back in 2017/18, so I’m fully aware of the struggles of getting the place open at the time. As one of the local MHK‘s I am happy to support and promote all businesses within the constituency. Secondly, on Friday evening when we were in the restaurant we noticed there were not many other people dining that night. I don’t know if that was just a quiet night or if that was a typical evening in the restaurant, but I didn’t feel it reflected the excellent level of service and the quality of food. I have a reasonably good following on social media, so why not use that influence to help promote a business within my own constituency, especially when I feel it is well deserved. I hope you have a great Christmas.

Unfortunately, my Tynwald colleague Stu Peters is correct when he says the matter is still sub judice, and it is likely to be for several more weeks. That said, I think the Manx public have a right to know the full and final cost for these proceedings.

Yes, all Tynwald Members have a government iPad or a Microsoft Surface Pro for remote working and to help access papers, emails and other apps etc….

Unfortunately, more false information from the Bandit….. I have never take my personal phone or iPad into either chamber during a sitting,……. I only use my government iPad in the chamber, which has a keyboard for sending emails and to access papers and messages etc

No, I am still on the Isle of Man Manx Utilities have issued a formal statement last week - but further details will be published in the fullness of time Enjoy the Easter Break

“I thought the agreement they had with the MUA was for execution only deals to be placed on an instruction basis“ - that is correct….…. However, I won’t comment further until Manx Utilities have published a statement.

No, that isn't correct - even with applying a 30% increase the MUA will have absorb some significant costs to shield customers in 2022/23, but the final figure will be based on natural gas market rate over the next 12 months….

Thank you for all the comments this morning.... Happy to confirm that both 15% increases will be based on the current tariffs, and not from the April tariff increase.

no, there is actually two documents filed, and if you want the full titles 1) Memorandum and Articles of Association 2) Articles of Association

I was simply saying is that the M & A’s and the Articles of a Company can be amended…. and some of the clauses within those documents already filed at the registry will be amended (subject to members approval) once I’ve had an opportunity to speak to the directors of IOMTTMA and the relevant documents have been drafted for consideration….

As I mentioned on social media the other day the new M & A’s and Articles filed the Isle of Man companies registry in respect of the new structure will now be amended…… and will not be the documents going before the members for consideration at the next EGM…..

I’m simply giving you the facts as I know them, and as I mentioned previously I will be working closely with the Isle of Man TT marshals association over the next couple of weeks, in order to fully understand what they’re trying to achieve….

“It would be fair to say that those at the meeting would be in favour of retaining/modifying the existing TTMA 's M&A, allowing all marshals to be members and have voting rights rather than a promised 2 meetings a year to offer observations to the new ' management” yes, and that was is the same conclusion I came to last weekend after reading all the documents, but I need to sit down with the directors of the IOMTTMA first. I didn’t attend the meeting last night because I wasn’t invited or asked….
