Local traders selling food on Douglas promenade say this TT is going to be one of the hardest ever.
With fewer visitors than last year’s centenary, they’re being charged the same for pitches – and have been told they can only open from the Thursday of practice week.

This trader explains why he’s worried:
Michelle Mone-linked PPE firm liquidated and unlikely to repay £148m
Judge Sebastian Prentis placed the company into liquidation
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
Water and debris likely to impact coastal routes around high tide
Proposed new laws would support homeless people on the Isle of Man
Government seeks feedback on introducing new legislation
DESC chief officer to retire in 2026
