Amnesty for veterans 'won't be in Queen's speech'

An ex-Army chief is 'disappointed' over reports a proposed law will be left out of the monarch's address.

Excellent and quite right too.

I'll let @Joey66 be the only one to ask what it's got to do with Brexit

But "the Island has a special and limited relationship with the EU, under an agreement (‘Protocol 3’) negotiated when the UK joined Europe in 1973, allowing free trade in agricultural and manufactured products between the Isle of Man and EU members. Apart from matters relating to this agreement, including Customs, the Island is not bound by EU laws and it pays nothing to, and receives nothing from, EU funds." https://www.gov.im/about-the-government/departments/cabinet-office/external-relations/constitution/
Perfect place for Checkpoint Charlie?

There's no need to rake up the troubles in Ireland bad journalism imo.....

Tony Connelly is IMO easily the top journalist covering Brexit in these islands and has been from Cameron landed us in this crisis.

Very clear writer. Thanks for the heads up. Latest thoughts:

UK moves closer to original NI-only backstop

The UK is moving closer to the objectives of the original Northern Ireland-only backstop, RTÉ News understands.

I was confirming what you said - which is what I understood anyway. You are not the only one who can Google. I even read the piece.

Makes no difference as the Isle of Man is not in the EU

Is it not?

How does that come about?

The thing about the negotiations this time is they are not being published in full nor tieing the arm up our negotiating teams back -, and no one is 100% certain that what is the deal as yet so progress can hopefully be made on all sides .....

The Isle of Man is not, and never has been, part of the United Kingdom, nor is it part of the European Union. It is not represented at Westminster or in Brussels. The Island is a self-governing British Crown Dependency - as are Jersey and Guernsey in the Channel Islands - with its own parliament, government and laws.
The island is not part of the United Kingdom or European Union, but has the status of 'crown dependency', similar to Jersey and Guernsey, with an independent administration. Its inhabitants are British citizens. The Isle of Man was permanently settled by Celts and fell under Viking control in 1079
