Ashford: Should he stay or should he go?

[SleepyJoe]

What actions will be taken to address the culture of impunity in government, asks Joney Faragher MHK

 

[SleepyJoe]

"proper engagement with our workforce to bring out core values"

presumably it is all their fault

Who's chairing this meeting? It sounded likely Skelly only ruled out Fargher's question after referral  to the CM.

Absolutely

Ashford  will be like a rabbit gazing into the headlamps of a car.

he does not have a clue what is going on and is just doing what he is told, as he has for the last five years.  
I think he is the CM’s fall guy to carry the can when the heat needs to be taken of the CM.

It’s embarrassing to listen to. How is Ashford so protected when it’s obvious he’s clueless and delusional.

We have known since the dawn of time that difficult questions are ruled out of order, or commercially confidential, or sub judice or see me after the public session !

What will today bring into the realm of Manx politics? Swift, concise action or slow, contrived apologetics?

All eyes/ears on Alf...

After Chris Thomas' questions, Alf replies - 'That's life', and a very convulated way of saying 'lessons are being learned'.....'move on'.

I think the only time CM Cannan will actually have the balls to wield the axe is if there is a widespread rebellion. The petition regarding the St Marks elms was a good example - if a petition calling for Ashfords removal was raised and it’s signed by a large amount, I think that CM Cannan wouldn’t be able to ride out the storm.

"Requirement for change culture"

Presumably for civil servants

Regime change would be preferable.

If you’re still on the fence then just be reminded that Dr Ranson was forbidden from speaking to David Ashford, Health Minster (at the time)during a global pandemic when her input would have been invaluable. Instead, he took advice from an individual with no medical experience. 

The important bit is that he knew all about it then and he knows all about it now, but why wasn’t this raised at the time? why has it taken an employment tribunal to make these events public knowledge?

How many other complaints of bullying culture in DHSC has Ashford received and ignored?
