Ramsey member accuses Alfred Cannan of being 'economically and fiscally illiterate'

A backbench MHK has asked the chief minister if he'll resign if Tynwald doesn't support his new policies.

Yesterday, Alfred Cannan announced he was 'redefining this government's approach to priorities' in the remainder of this term as part of a Council of Ministers reshuffle.

As well as the sacking of two ministers, it was announced the 20mph rollout was being paused and there would be a slower approach to increasing minimum wage.
