Manx Bean Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I notice that Jane Poole-Wiison was officially referred to a Deputy Chief Minister in a Manky Radio article yesterday. Is this post a recent thing, or did the former holders of the post not care to mention it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes with changing the names of departments or rebranding - another waste of tax payers resources, something IOMG are experts at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 It was announced when Comin members were appointed, when Alf is not available eg ill or on holidays & not contactable then Jane is in charge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The civil servants are in charge, but the post of Deputy CM is a meaningless post, rather like the same post in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 It dates back to the appointment of the Council of Minister, here she is being described as "taking on the role of deputy chief minister". I'm not sure that there's ever been a formal announcement of a Deputy CM before - I think the assumption was that if it was anyone, it would be the Treasury Minister, but when Quayle had Covid early on, he kept on proclaiming he was still in charge while working from home. And I suppose he was still in charge as much as he ever was. Part of the reason might be that Cannan may be less willing than Quayle to travel to do official things. Here's Poole-Wilson signing an agreement on behalf of IOMG in Cardiff for instance. I suppose they thought if they send Ashford he might shred it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are we ever going to forget the shredding incident? Never, I hope. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Juan is still spewing after a number of years so the shredding incident will hang around for yonks, the Mayoress’s chain is still fondly recalled from time to time so never is probably a fair assessment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how is that going to work exactly? Say Alf is off work and JPS is in charge. When will she have time for that important job while having time to make her husbands dinner and look after her house?.................................. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cissolt Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 HQ refused to state who would take over if he was deemed unfit to do whatever his job was. Seemed strange at the time that the press would ask on multiple occasions and were rebuked each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
