Is a £50 million loss considered a success or failure by government? I would think so. But he still has to provide the answers to Tynwald today, so should be a fun listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebean Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Rob Callister’s challenge is to utter as many words as possible to give the impression he is heading up DHSC, whilst being able to achieve nothing and accepting responsibility for nothing. He will be aided in this endeavour by a team of Civil Servants who will give him the words to say in the media and in Tynwald. A secondary challenge will be to do this whilst having absolutely no expertise in his area of responsibility and having no leadership skills or experience. He will, however be required to be a willing nodding dog for CoMIN. His ego will keep him from accepting the futility of his appointment. This is Manx politics in 2022. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asitis Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I spoke to someone today who has been to numerous meetings with Mr Callister, he described him as the least gifted person he has ever met, but with an unshakeable belief in his own ability. Good luck DHSC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just fluffed an answer to Moorhouse at the end of this Tynwald session confirming that to March 2022 the loss was £20M predicted and from April 2022 to Sept 2022 the projected loss is £12M but then suggests that there might be other cash losses that aren’t included in the £50M.

Some would say it was insolvent, if it needs sovereign funds because no institution will support it. Mind you, how is that Barclays loan against Pulrose going?

It’s a loan backed by IOM governments perceived ability to repay at the end of the term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
