MHK says Island is 'practically' in a recession
Tynwald needs to focus on supporting businesses on the Isle of Man to ensure they survive the current cost of living crisis.

Claire Christian is the chair of the Economic Policy Review Committee and a local business owner.
She told Manx Radio politicians must look further ahead:
