Jersey would look quite different today if it wasn't for Major Peirson and his men who defeated French invaders on this day, 6 January 1781, in the Battle of Jersey. Around 30 British troops died. Join in Royal Square celebrations from midday. #BattleofJersey

✅ The late Colin Powell CBE often recalled the wise word often used Senator Cyril Le Marquand
‘Confidence’
States Assembly debates may be well intended endless tinkering leads to uncertainty erodes Confidence
Jersey needs Confidence to get building

Don’t often spend a Sunday morning commenting on social media
My focus tries to get on with the big jobs and help get them done
As much as we all like a former ‘Parish Pump’
They rarely could serve the island-wide need
Lesson is #StickToYourKnitting so I’m #GettingBackToWork
Windfarm is a long-term project that ‘could’ help energy resilience and reduce energy costs
However seems to me
Most urgent is to unblock issues preventing CM & her signed up ministerial team whose No1 aim was to get Jersey rebuilding and building
Lesson is #GetOnWithTheJob
July 2022 General Election sent a clear message for change
New CM secured approval for a Gov 2023-26 shorturl.at/cM156 for rebuilding & get building
Since return:
House prices 📉
Building 📉
Supply chain 🆘
#ActionNotWords needed

Sadly political hesitation stopped it
Can’t change the past
Today’s Health Minister has a plan
Let’s learn from past
Let’s #GetOnWithIt 🙏🏻
