Beyond the shore how decisions elsewhere land on the island
Analysis
The Institute for Fiscal Studies says Chancellor Healey needs a £35bn top-up to meet his spending plans, raising questions here over relocation, mortgages and inflation.
Analysis
The think tank says Chancellor Healey's spending plans face significant risks, while Manx CPI stands at 4.1%, a full point above the UK's 3.1%.
Analysis
The island has no inheritance tax, but Kemi Badenoch's party is in opposition and trailing Labour and Reform in the polls, so any UK change is far from certain.
Overall inflation was 4.1% over the same 12 months, according to the Cabinet Office's latest report, with education recording the largest category increase.
