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.
That's the view of a Douglas South MHK who says she believes the Island is 'practically' in a recession and some small businesses will fold over the summer.
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:
Man found dead in Island plantation
Police not treating death as suspicious
Manx Care 'reviewing' findings of landmark UK maternity reports
Inquiries are 'substantial and present important learning opportunities for all maternity services'
Public input sought to help shape the future of adult learning at UCM
