As talks to form a Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition are stepped up, a retiring MP is reiterating the benefit to the Isle of Man of a stable government in the United Kingdom.
Andrew Mackinlay stood down before last week’s general election, but not before helping the campaign to save the Reciprocal Health Agreement.
He says the Manx government must establish relationships with its UK counterparts, so it can have full discussions over matters which affect the Island:
Ben-my-Chree sailing cancelled due to 'technical issues'
All Manannan journeys are going ahead as planned
81 'unsafe squishy toys' seized
Parents urged to check for unsafe items
Manx Utilities open 'prior information notice' for Garff Sewage Treatment works
It says it's not a 'competitive tender process' at this stage
Island takes centre stage as TT film crew to return
Filming of 'Isle of Man' to continue next month
