A backbench MHK says Chris Robertshaw may have misunderstood the dynamics of the House of Keys and Tynwald.

He's also criticised backbenchers for 'nitpicking', as he put it, and not making positive contributions.
Speaking live on Mandate this morning, West Douglas MHK Chris Thomas offered his thoughts:
