Chris Thomas says people want money in pockets
Improving the quality of life is high on the agenda of West Douglas MHK Chris Thomas.
He's seeking re-election in the new constituency of Central Douglas when Islanders go to the polls in September's general election.
Mr Thomas believes a key priority for the next government should be ensuring people have enough money in their pockets.
He says the morale of those in frontline services is low - and it's an issue that needs addressing:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Some areas still 'extremely slippery' following snowfall
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
Case 'decoupled' from Tramway Terrace Project
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
The union says its latest staff survey is a "damning indictment" of healthcare provider
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025

Abuse towards bus drivers 'will not be tolerated'
Bus Vannin says its staff have a right to do their job without fear of violence, intimidation or discrimination
