Lyndsay Victoria Feltham

The manifesto sets out a broad set of priority areas, including cost of living, housing, family support, pensioners and workers' rights, but does not commit to specific reforms within any of them. The forward-looking section is confined to continuing existing directions of travel rather than proposing new or expanded programmes. The retrospective account of past work is detailed, but ambition for the coming term is expressed at the level of themes rather than goals.

The forward commitments carry no figures, dates or named mechanisms. The manifesto's three future-facing pledges are directional or aspirational: to continue working for fairness, to prioritise a list of areas, and to remain accessible to constituents. The specificity in the text belongs entirely to the record of past achievements, not to the programme offered for the next term.

The priority areas identified, cost of living, housing, family support and workers' rights, are consistent with Jersey's existing policy landscape and do not propose measures that would require untested revenue sources or significant constitutional change. Because the commitments are directional rather than specific, there is little in the manifesto that raises realism concerns, though equally there is little that can be assessed against practical constraints.

The Scorecard records Feltham as Chair of the Corporate Services Scrutiny Panel from June 2026. The priority areas named in the manifesto, cost of living, housing, family support, pensioners and workers' rights, are not directly within the subject area of that post and would depend on the actions of other Ministers and on securing an Assembly majority. Constituency engagement and accessibility commitments are within the candidate's own control regardless of post.

A substantial portion of the text is made up of general statements of values and intent: commitments to listening, to speaking up, to working hard, and to earning trust. The closing paragraph in particular consists largely of restatements of those values. The forward-looking pledges do not advance beyond naming broad priority areas. The most concrete content in the manifesto describes past achievements rather than future commitments.
