North Douglas MHK says it's time to face hardships
It was second time lucky for David Ashford in Douglas North on Thursday.
He fought back after losing a by-election in the constituency last year to edge out defending member John Houghton and top the polls.
He'll now work alongside the man who beat him in that by-election - Ralph Peake - in the House of Keys.
Mr Ashford says he's under no illusion as to the difficulties facing the Island:
Man admits cannabis supply offences linked to operation 'Eagle Eye’
21-year-old’s involvement was 'not insignificant'
Businesses feel strain from 25 percent Steam Packet fuel surcharge
Chamber calls for government intervention as freight costs rise across the Island
Former infrastructure minister says 'massive' amount of misinformation about clause five
Michelle Haywood believes it won't be brought back before Tynwald
Partying school leavers told "keep it safe"
Further public gatherings expected this weekend
