Government saw education minister as "difficult woman"

Sacked education minister Julie Edge has hit back at the government.

This evening, it was announced she'd been removed from her post.

She says it's because of her criticism of government over the treatment of Dr Ranson - who won an employment tribunal after being forced out.of her job for whistleblowing during the pandemic.

Mrs Edge says she was sacked just 24 hours after explaining her support for Dr Ranson to Chief Minister Alf Cannan.

And she added government viewed her as a "difficult woman".
