Practical priorities,
honestly costed.
Six areas where steady, local representation makes a real difference for Onchan and the Isle of Man — every commitment will be finalised and agent-approved before launch.
The 2026 manifesto will be published here as an accessible, tagged document (real text, not a scan).
