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:

Education minister applauds latest Bill in face of criticism
Driving ban for man caught drug driving at the Sea Terminal
'Really important' children are inspired to use their imaginations, says Manx author
