What I actually do, newest first, every entry dated.

Factual mistakes go in the Corrections Log. Changes to my policies and to this site go here, along with everything else I get up to. Spotted something that isn’t logged? Tell me.

SitePolicy

I won. That means my policies needed updating, and it means you can watch what I do with the job as well as read what I said before the vote. So this page is now a running log of what I get up to, newest first, every entry dated.

Some entries will be about the site and the policies. Most, I hope, will be about the work: what I asked, what I voted for, who I met, what I promised and whether it happened. If I write nothing for a month, that tells you something too.

Today’s changes:

  • The AI Policy now covers my work as an MHK as well as the campaign. The commitments are the same: every fact checked by me, every position mine, no fake accounts, no generated crowds.
  • The Privacy Policy now says it covers the campaign site only, and points to Tynwald’s privacy notice for my work as a member.
  • New: this page, and a link to it in the banner.

The header still says “Candidate for Middle”. I’m aware. That’s a job for a different weekend.

Yes, an AI helped me draft this first entry. Yes, I read it before it went anywhere near you. Traa dy liooar, as we say, but I’ve dated everything anyway.
