I am pleased to be lodging a proposition that will seek to address the lack of Estate Agent regulation on the island.Estate agents in Jersey currently do not need professional qualifications to sell properties.
86% of islanders surveyed want this to change. https://t.co/P9AYChYd2LJoin us on March 31, at Trinity Parish Hall 9:30am-12:30pm for the Closer to Home event.

Please spare a thought for the couples who have lost a baby or are facing difficulties getting pregnant.
Many suffer in silence, not everyone is open about their struggles but it may be your friends and family - and it can be tough to see a pregnancy announcement, real or not.I have announced in response to the increased cost of living, and the additional pressures this is placing on students and families. These changes mean that from September 2023 all students will either receive the same level of grant or – in many cases – receive more. twitter.com/Channel103/sta…
Students could see more added to their maintenance grants to help with the cost of living. https://t.co/rek6YLKPbS
Last few days I can’t help but have flash backs to Charlie Parkers complaint against me for bullying him. Why is it caring driven women on top of their game are considered bullies by challenging others views with facts and logic.

A) 48 Percent

Part of the 100 day plan of the current government was to realign departments to match Ministerial portfolios.
This move sees the department which covered three portfolios now cover just two... That falls short of the Chief Minister's promise. twitter.com/bailiwickxpres…Gov 'super-department' gets ANOTHER rebrand | Bailiwick Express https://t.co/YJiLMKvJGP

I have attached my proposition which will ensure all Estate Agents are regulated.Tune in to @BBCJersey television news tonight at 6.30pm, when I speak to @MeghantheOwen about Parental Bereavement Leave and explain how statutory compassionate leave will work in Jersey.
The Youth Assembly has voted in favour of introducing a bus service which is free at the point of need. Brilliant case made by Victoria College’s Daniel Riley and his team.
Young people will save us 💚The delay of JHT’s 9% rent increase by two months is welcome. But it is not enough.
Being pushed closer to the breadline from July rather than May is not much consolation for those affected.
They should have reduced this rent increase to at least match Andium’s cap. twitter.com/ITVChannelTV/s…The Jersey Homes Trust has delayed its planned rent increase by a further two months following outrage after tenants were handed 9% rent increases with three weeks' notice.

buff.ly/3LRfgxFStarmer would have thrived in politics before the internet. But his problem now is that there are receipts for every single lie he told as aspiring Labour leader, which can be held up to him as he asks to become PM. These will be exploited big time in a general election. twitter.com/keir_starmer/s…
The selections for Labour candidates needs to be more democratic and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local Party members should select their candidates for every election.

@WarrOnWords @paulscallylgl @bailiwickxpress That I would suggest, David, is an outlier unfortunately! The people who come to us, the foodbanks or other charities are reporting not just increases around current inflation rates but some of 15% 20+% and in two cases even 30% this year.
