President of Mec Vannin Bernard Moffatt says the Island may have handed over more power to Westminster without most people realising it.
The government has signed a new international identity agreement with the UK to allow it to act on our behalf in the worldwide arena.
But a subtle change in wording means the UK doesn’t need our permission to sign us up to accords and agreements.
Mr Moffatt (pictured) says it’s a small change which could have wide implications:
New minister promises to remove 'unnecessary barriers' to housing
Rob Callister appointed as new Housing and Communities Minister
Plans submitted for temporary marquee at Milntown
Estate says if approved it would help generate more income
