Chief Minister Chris Thomas has published his Charter for Change.
The much-vaunted version of the Policy Plan that has been mentioned previously has just appeared on the Tynwald Register of Business.
The public will have less than a week to consider its contents before he places it before Tynwald for debate. That sitting gets underway at 10am on November 17.
However, there is a provision that a “finalised” charter will be brought before Tynwald in January.
It means that Thomas meets his target of having something in place in the first 100 days, while also giving him the opportunity to respond to feedback.

‘We Have a Mandate for Change’
In his introduction, Thomas states: “The purpose of this Charter for Change is simple: improving the lives of the people
we represent.
“We have a mandate for change, and we need to deliver that change.
At next week’s sitting, he will ask Tynwald to receive the report “including the ambition, focus, and national priorities therein”;
Tynwald will also be asked to note that “a finalised Charter for Change will be brought to the January 2027 sitting of Tynwald following further engagement”.
