Union head gives verdict
Unite the Union says a soft Brexit is what's best for the Isle of Man - and not an 'acrimonious divorce'.
Island head Eric Holmes was speaking after the UK general election on Thursday.
He says a new UK government approaching Brussels with too much vigour could damage our national interests.
The Tories failed to gain a majority, and will now need the Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party's 10 seats to make up their coalition quota.
Mr Holmes was asked if Prime Minister Theresa May annouced the snap election in haste:
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Douglas man accused of causing death by dangerous driving committed
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
