Publishing IOM bus timetable data to Google Maps could boost the economy. The IOM population must waste thousands of hours opening PDFs in new tabs. Rage quitting or driving. ‘Planning’ bus journeys is an unnecessary relic.

This is going to be difficult to review & manage. Misguided targets, poor data, vanity metrics and a lack of scrutiny. Easy target for abuse. We are now facing the consequences of our policies. Many of which are distorting the local labour market. iomtoday.co.im/news/governmen…

Interesting move by the UK Government. EV adoption in the IOM is pretty lacklustre and I guess will remain so. (That's not my opinion, that's registration data) bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Nobody tell the Isle of Man Treasury. We will see a surge in three-bed Dandara houses, advertised with one bedroom, but with: - Servants quarters - Withdrawing rooms - Anteroom - Boudoirs

Experts in Australia are pushing for a new tax on spare bedrooms as a solution to the nation’s deepening housing crisis. They argue that too many homes have more bedrooms than residents, creating a mismatch in housing supply. By taxing unused rooms, they believe it would…
