AGENDA: 

  • Agenda 1.12.25 - how will the new Education Bill and Period Products make our lives better?

    There are two new Bills progressing through the House of Keys at the moment and on Agenda we find out what the motivation is for bringing them forward and what their impact will be on our lives. The Education Bill is a mere shadow of the Bill which had previously been brought forward by the education department but it will have a significant impact on home schooling and children with additional educational needs. And do we really need a law to give women access to free period products? The Education Minister has taken her department back to school to produce the slimmer Bill but will the Keys give it ten out of ten or a “see me after the lesson?”

  • Perspective 30.11.25 - why do we need the Manx Wildlife Trust?

    With Leigh Morris vacating his leadership role in the Manx Wildlife Trust earlier this year Graham Makepeace-Warne took over as CEO. He tells Perspective why the Isle of Man needs a Wildlife Trust and what his organisation supports. He explains why wildlife needs our help and we enjoy some of the benefits that being out in the wild in the winter time can have for our health and well being. Species and habitat destruction has been incredibly prolific over the passed half century or so with over 70% of the world’s wildlife lost. It seem that talking about the Birds and the Bees has never been more necessary!
