After the result was declared in yesterday's East Douglas by-election, celebrity chef Kevin Woodford said he wasn't surprised to finish third.
The by-election, won by Chris Robertshaw with Liberal Vannin candidate Kate Beecroft second, was overshadowed by the controversy of proxy vote applications and the role of secret trusts.
Mr Woodford told Marian Kenny those issues proved to be major distractions:
Faulty device believed to have triggered multi-agency search effort
Coastguard and RNLI teams involved in 'extensive' maritime search
Police issue warning to parents over 'harmful' group chats
Officers encouraging parents and carers to check their child's devices
Local food van 'disappointed' not to be visiting Castletown after offering 42 dates
Filbey's says it has 'no malice' towards commissioners after dispute
Search launched after emergency beacon signal activated
Crews responding to Personal Locator Beacon activation within five-mile radius of Snaefell
