The Chief Minister has launched a verbal attack on what he calls 'backbenchers with career ambitions' ahead of Tynwald reconvening.
Allan Bell was commenting as the political summer recess comes to an end with the first sitting of government taking place next month.
There will be numerous issues on the agenda but Mr Bell believes some junior members of government are deliberately stirring up political tensions.
He says he expects it to be a feisty affair:
