Iris was a superb Connétable of St Lawrence, she was President of the Education Committee in the late 80s and early 90s and broke down barriers to women in politics. She'll be missed by so many islanders, particularly in St Lawrence.

I'm devastated to hear of the passing of Iris Le Feuvre MBE. Iris played an enormous role in my life for which I'll always be grateful. I'll miss her enormously and send all of my love to her family.

I'm delighted with the mini budget. Raising tax thresholds to help islanders deal with the cost of living was a key manifesto pledge of mine and, along with the other measures included, the budget shows the Council of Ministers is acting strongly to help islanders.

As part of the #100DayPlan the Ministers for Treasury and Resources and Social Security have lodged a proposed Mini Budget to put money back in your pocket. This is an extensive package of measures to address the cost of living crisis.    ▶️ bit.ly/3Skm7Az

Am at the Traineeship programme graduation. It's a privilege to be here to meet people who have been on amazing journeys learning new skills. Thanks to Garenne Group for supporting such an important scheme.

Listen back to this morning from 08:08, where Dr Andrew Casebow explains that land supply is the biggest problem facing the future of dairy farming and dairy farmer Rachel Le Cocq describes how the loss of this valley would be a major blow to the industry.

This is the green valley (which the States voted in 2016 to prioritise and protect for agriculture) that Deps Al Brouard and David Mahoney now want to build over. If like me you think they should use brownfield instead, please make your voice heard in support of the #FallaRequete

I really enjoyed learning about new Future Skills qualification. An excellent example of innovation in education designed to give students and employers the skills they really need. Great work!

The highest priority for the next Health Minister will be ensuring there are enough beds available at the hospital and in care homes. Lack of beds forces Health to build new Medical Day Care Unit | Bailiwick Express

The next government must be laser-focused on helping islanders manage the cost of living. Raising tax thresholds will put hundreds of pounds back in the pockets of islanders. If the Treasury Minister won't do this, I'll lodge my own amendment to the next budget. #jsy22

Everyday, I'm being told stories about the enormous unnecessary stress caused by the way government communicates with us. I want to change this so we can all feel that the government actually cares. #jsy22

We must support farming in Jersey. Without farming, the island will change forever. I launched the new Rural Economy Framework and have backed it with the funds it needs to succeed. If I'm elected, I'll ensure the next government continues to increase funding for farming. #jsy22
