In the manifesto

“I'll push for a mandatory deposit protection scheme, so deposits are held securely and returned fairly. I'd also back an independent arbitration service to resolve tenant-landlord disputes quickly and cheaply, without either side going to court.”

In the manifesto

“I'd push for a published register of Government-owned land suitable for housing, with a reason given for any site not brought forward, and for the Manx Development Corporation to be judged on homes completed rather than schemes announced.”

In the manifesto

“In a housing crisis, leaving a home derelict for years should have consequences. Government needs clear, escalating powers so usable homes don't rot while residents go without.”

In the manifesto

“Large developments should be required to include both affordable and social housing with no buying out of the affordable housing obligation. The metric for "Affordable" should be directly linked to median Manx earnings.”

In the manifesto

“I would vote for either Free Personal Care or the Mixed Model with capped care costs.”

In the manifesto

“I'll push for an online dashboard showing list lengths, waiting times, and the direction of travel so we can all see the overall trend over time.”

In the manifesto

“If more is requested this year or next, I would want a full financial audit of where Manx Care is spending as a condition of it. I would not vote to withold money needed for safe staffing, but I would not prepared to keep signing supplementary votes without knowing where the last one went.”

In the manifesto

“I'll push to extend the credit, universally, to babies from six months of age.”

In the manifesto

“I would like to see Health and Social Care Apprenticeships created. It would provide a paid route for school leavers with real progression into nursing and allied healthcare professions that keeps them on the Island.”

In the manifesto

“I'll push for exam results to be published annually in a form comparable with UK data, and for whatever replaces external validation to produce findings a parent can actually read about their own school.”

In the manifesto

“I'll push for a genuine self-sufficiency figure and a days-of-supply figure, published every year, so residents can see whether we have more food security, or less.”

In the manifesto

“I believe the Department for Enterprise should hold "exit interviews" with businesses that have decided the Isle of Man is no longer viable for them, and report what they find to Tynwald each year.”

In the manifesto

“I will push the Government to engage directly with major providers about the regulatory and banking conditions that they need to enable our Island businesses to export and operate in a global market.”

In the manifesto

“I would rather we know about it now than discover it in a future budget as an emergency.”

In the manifesto

“I will push for a successor strategy containing not just targets that consist of reviews of strategies and policies, but actual measurable improvements to the Island's biodiversity. Our planning system should implement firm Biodiversity Net Gain targets and we should be encouraging living buildings and creating green spaces for brownfield sites determined not suitable for housing.”

In the manifesto

“I'll push for steady, reliable upkeep of the roads and lighting we all depend on, and for spending that's judged by whether the basics are done well, not by how "flagship" the project is considered to be.”

In the manifesto

“I will ask Government to measure more, not less, but only where those numbers will force a decision to be made. A figure that tells us how much food we produce, or whether a waiting list is getting longer, is worth having because it makes inaction visible.”

In the manifesto

“The one recommendation that failed to pass was the one I would have supported: publishing the business cases behind spending decisions. I would bring that back to ensure financial transparency.”

In the manifesto

“I want Government headcount to come down, and significantly. Where technology changes a role, I would expect Government to fund retraining and redeployment first, and to be straight with staff early rather than late.”

In the manifesto

“I believe that every civil servant working on a project or initiative should record their time, especially so on projects defended as "costing Government nothing". If we cannot say what something costs, we cannot judge whether it is worth it.”
