Next Episode: Perspective 13.8.23 - twelve of the questions asked at a very entertaining and interesting Tynwald sitting.

There were loads of big political announcements in July Tynwald. A review of the Isle of Man’s Heritage Railways ends in just over a week’s time. Should you be concerned over government’s motivation for bringing the review forward? Are we finally going to get a wind farm in the Manx hills? Would this be a big environmental step forward or just a load of unnecessary green washing? We also consider the Biosphere, prison, the Chief Constable’s annual report and the role of the Attorney General. Manx politics finally calmed down enough for us to get back to some other big issues.
