Sacked MHK says there are 'major challenges' to tackle

The former infrastructure minister has claimed the Council of Ministers is taking ‘risks’, behind closed doors, with taxpayers’ money.

Chris Thomas was ousted from CoMin last week after being sacked by the chief minister.

It’s not the first time he’s lost his ministerial position – he was also removed as Policy and Reform Minister in 2020.

Mr Thomas told Manx Radio he hasn’t ruled out a return but is adamant things need to change:

Chief Minister Alfred Cannan has told Manx Radio he wants the next DoI minister to be 'committed' to the Council of Ministers 'line of travel'.
