For those interested, here is the speech I delivered (in full) on 27th November 2025 on the Code of Conduct to suspend me from the States of Deliberation, a proposition which was defeated by 22 votes to 11, with 5 abstentions (and 2 absences.)

I was not previously aware of this family’s case until their letter was published in today’s Guernsey Press, but sadly their experience will feel familiar to quite a number of others:

Thanks to Aindre for offering and providing disability awareness training to Deputies this week. It was a salutary lesson in some of the challenges faced by a fair chunk of the community.

Grateful to colleagues on P&R for choosing me to be committee’s Vice President. Look forward to serving them and supporting President

Thankful also to Sarah Hansmann Rouxel for nominating me to serve as member of SACC. Was keen to continue to deliver a comprehensive programme of work this term

This is EXACTLY the reason we have adopted policies aimed at retaining and attracting young people to return to the island, including the Additional Earned Allowance for all over-16s on first £100k of their taxable earnings until aged 30, saving up to £20k in tax towards housing or pension provision
