CM slammed for bringing Island into ‘disrepute’
Businesses could be put off from setting up on the Isle of Man after ‘inappropriate’ comments made by the chief minister.
That’s the view of the chief executive officer of The Hubb – a network which describes itself as an "incubator for innovators" – who says Howard Quayle is bringing the Island into ‘disrepute’.
It follows comments he made in Tynwald this week defending government’s decision to send COVID-19 results off Island for genomic testing rather than utilising on-Island resource.
Jason Scales says the impact of his comments could be felt for some time:
Reservoir levels well below daily average figures
Ministers raised doubts about 'long-term suitability' of Manxman
Samaritans prepare to welcome Sid as 300-mile challenge concludes
Maritime operation will 'map, exploit and dismantle' illicit networks
