How will Manx activists be affected by election?
Manx union members generally aren't as 'politically militant' as their UK counterparts.
That from head of the Unite union in the Island, Eric Holmes, after Thursday's UK general election result.
Trade unions were under the spotlight, with many voters swayed by Labour's 'jobs first' Brexit strategy.
Now with a Tory-DUP coalition a strong possibility, the prominence and power unions will hold over the next five years has been called into question.
Mr Holmes says it will have a knock-on effect on membership here - but that, typically, Manx activists are not quite as passionate about their politics:
Cannabis dealer who got cold feet spared jail
New count system used for PSM by-election
Iconic giant illuminated globe now on display in Douglas
New prison policies following death of inmate
Olympic medallist urges people to consider fostering
Kewaigue School raises over £300 for RNLI
