The tenant of a property in Ramsey which was significantly damaged in a fire says he has ‘lost everything’. Clifford Duff was shocked to find the alarms going off and smoke billowing from the terraced house when he returned home on Sunday evening. Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service crews were called to the blaze at Queen’s Drive West at around 5:20pm. They were met by a ‘well-established’ fire on the ground floor of the property with two rooms well alight.

Douglas Council says its social housing tenants won’t be evicted from their homes if they can’t pay their rent. The pledge comes days after The Department of Infrastructure (DoI) announced that public sector rents in the island will increase by 5% from Monday, April 7. The changes will see tenants paying an additional £3.71 to £7.71 per week, depending on property type. For example, a three-bedroom house will cost just over £6 more a week to renters after the change kicks-in.

Two drag performers brought pillow fights, party bags and a ‘camp old time’ to an island village last week during a ‘Drag Queen Pyjama Party’. Owen Atkinson and Ashton Gibson, who respectively perform under the drag names of Fenella Beach and Nona Binary, organised the event which took the form of a glamorous pyjama party. The pair encouraged those who attended to wear their very best silk robes and onesies for a night that included special guest burlesque star ‘Miss DeeDee’ joining them on stage.

A Manx Swiftie has experienced a magical moment she will never forget after meeting her idol during a concert in Poland. Darcie Kitchin, nine, was at the Taylor Swift Eras tour show with her family in Warsaw on Thursday evening which was an incredible experience in itself. But it got even better for Darcie when she was randomly picked to be the lucky fan to receive Swift’s ‘22’ hat which is handed out each night to a fan picked out by the singer.
