Dear Editor,
In what is seen as a full-blown civil war within the UPP, supporters have turned on MP Simon Shugy, branding him as a dunce and stupid for his alliance with Dane Knight.
Tensions have escalated among party loyalists as they express their outrage at Shugy’s betrayal, perceiving him as a threat to the integrity of the UPP.
The division within the party has deepened, with many supporters arguing that MP Simon owes his political career to the UPP, the very organization he now undermines.
One long-time supporter, visibly frustrated, declared Shugy a stupid donkey, emphasizing that he had become an MP through the party’s support.
This sentiment resonated with others who believe that Shugy’s actions could jeopardize their unity and the leadership of the Honorable Jamale Pringle.
As social media platforms buzz with heated debates and accusations, the supporters of Pringle are adamant in their resolve to protect their leadership from what they see as a coup attempt by a faction.
The rift has ignited passionate discussions about loyalty, leadership, and the future direction of the UPP, leaving many wondering if the party can survive this internal turmoil.
As calls for accountability grow louder, the fate of the UPP hangs in the balance, with the next actions of hon Simon Shugy and his supporters set to determine the party’s future.

What a time to be alive. “The World Is A Cycle”
Strike 1: Shugy teamed up with Derede Whitlock to plant negative stories tearing down Pringle’s leadership and lack of education in the media, while promoting himself.
Strike 2: Shugy approached PM Gaston in parliament to get an accomodation with the ABLP like Anthony Smith got, to be Minister of Sports, cause he too was going to bail on the UPP. Shugy even admitted to this. Gaston exposed him, and also exposed the fact that he bought a BOAT, and kept it secret from him constituents and the public. Where Shugy get all this money from so quick that he could go and buy a whole boat?
Strike 3: Mr. Knight cuss and tear down Shugy’s political leader MP Pringle and UPP Chairwoman Giselle EVERY night, yet Shugy appear on the show with Mr. Knight weekly and never once defend his leader, Chairwoman or the UPP. If that is not a punkish move, I don’t know what is. Shugy is just a spineless UPP MP who all he good for is envy & jealous Gaston. Shugy even have time as a big man to say like a lil girl “Gaston can’t dance. I can wink up more than PM Goston” SMFH
If I was Pringle or even Giselle, I would put Shugy out to pasture as he is all of self. But Pringle is soo weak a leader, we can’t really expect much from him.
WINKKUP PASTOR don’t give 2 shit about party unity. He is all of SELF
The article failed to mention what Shugy agrees with Dane Knight about.
Just as serpent 🐍 said he sits on the “RUDE BOY” Stand in Parliament…..only that he CANNOT DEBATE and SKIPS PARLIAMENT TO GO TRINIDAD to do “better things” with the people’s time.
Where is shugy WIFE??? What he bother go NAZARENE BIBLE COLLGE for??
Dear UPP
Is Croif your new fixer? Is he the standard bearer for the party? Is that what you have come to? This man on Progressive radio cursing out the MPs and using the worse bad words to describe them.
Is this the way that the party plans to heal, to bring all factions together?
What I heard was distasteful, offensive and self-serving. The host obviously could not handle him. He said what he felt like saying when he felt like saying it and how he felt like saying it.
This is not the conduct I have come to expect from the party of Baldwin Spencer and Harold Lovell. What are these two gentlemen saying or doing to fix this? Do they understand that Croif’s stand is more able to destroy them than what he is criticizing?
Lots of people are talking about his conduct. They are asking themselves if this is the new UPP. Some are saying if this is so then they would keep what they have.
Whoever is in charge in the party could not be condoning this. I expect to hear a strong statement distancing themselves from Froif’s message.
Interesting times indeed. This is what happens when you don’t deal with cancer early. The UPP has had unity issues since inception. They need to sit down and come up with a proper reason for being other than hatred for the ABLP. What are your core values? Why choose candidates who don’t even conform to your stated values? There are party ambassadors who have criminal records. Seems M. Parker sees herself as a fireman because only such will run into a burning building
”Where Shugy get all this money from so quick that he could go and buy a whole boat?”
Shuggy is asking conversely like ASOT from the grave, where DID GASTON get all that money and wealth from since 2014 when in opposition he was writing bounce cheques left right and centre and driving a black old Cherokee Jeep, but now he has US$700,000,000.00. Am I hearing CIP?
@Tenman so ABLP don’t have internal conflicts and trust issues?
Ask yourself why Asot left and was later assassinsted? What of the Bird faction of Vere, Sean and a former general secretary? Lester undercut his father and brother Vere.
Gaston pull a Cous on Lester while he fed Robin and Dr. Rolls to his pigs.
UPP biggest mistake to date was that Baldwin Spencer failed to act upon the IHI Lindquist Report which would have buried several Labour stalwarts for good. The reason most likely been several of his UPP stalwarts were probably caught up in one of the biggest corruption scandal in the nation just like the Broncogate.
It’s politics Antigua and Barbuda style and it stinks like a rotten fish in a fish pot.
Look at all these Dumbo’s in the comments.
😂 😆.
Meanwhile GB and his band of fools still can’t get ST John’s clean up till this day..
Meanwhile GB has lost a grip on reality and hyping up Antigua to be some world leader in economy, touting the US$22k a year average salary in Antigua as some great achievement.
😂
Bloody idiots.
Shuggy has a right to his opinion, and if that’s considered ” disloyalty” then UPP doesn’t need him or he needs UPP.
That’s my thoughts on all this.
Reacting to Tenman’s ridiculous analogy, when he spurts: “…this is what happens when you don’t deal with cancer early…”
Well Tenman, let’s use your own sick analogy on your wutless ABLP government shall we?
So if UPP’S Kelvin Shugy Simon’s actions are riddled with cancer (who BTW, hasn’t been anywhere near close in running the country in 11-12 years); then does this mean that Gaston Browne’s behaviour and governance is beyond recovery?
You always keep giving this insincere BARMECIDE of a Prime Minister a free pass, despite the ongoing issues he’s created for the country, the citizens and himself.
@Brix.. Your party is burning, yet your focus is on attacking ABLP. Guy you don’t get how you comment makes my point? You have no real love for your party. Your focus is hated for the ABLP. Your posts have nothing to do with love for country. You are the true embodiment of that lady who asked for Salomon to cut the baby in half, Sadly you reflect most of the UPP “supporters”. Bitterness is like cancer it will eat not only you up, but also those close to you. I am not laughing at you since I used to be like you and learnt its not healthy /productive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PivWY9wn5ps&list=RDPivWY9wn5ps&start_radio=1
@Gutter, Tenman won’t respond to you, because he’s a myopic one-eyed ABLP supporter.
I once had an allegiance with the party, but when I realised that Gaston Browne wasn’t who he made out to be, I didn’t want to know anymore.
That was in 2014, and Browne continues to break the ABLP manifesto promises. He’s only making an effort in the country now, because a snap General Election is imminent.
Tenman is one of those foolish BAVADARGE’S that cannot or will not put the betterment of Antigua first. He won’t even comment on Chet Greene’s rise of leadership prominence in his own party.
In fact, the ABLP supporters have gone very quiet on replacing Browne with the more than capable Greene. Damn weak hearts…
@Gutter politics – stop make things up, Asot did not leave. Try and remember he had the party in court in an attempt to prevent a divorce. Look at his manifesto as an independent, he tried to run as if he was still labor, showing pictures on each page noting his former closeness to the PM. Note he died a labourite, hence if his death was political, ask the UPP (you wish for me to provide the clip of him in Barbuda waving the red flag and declaring his allegiance to ABLP?). Yes we do have fights, but when it counts in general we stick together. Fact is we are such a good family, that we easily get UPP members to come over and enjoy real comradeship . People like Brix are so full of bitterness that they are best left in their own madeup world.
@Tenman the only thing that I wish for you to do is to stop selling turd/shit as Ohenry or Snickers candy bar to the Antiguan & Barbudans.
You indirectly gave one of the reasons for Asot Michael assassination, he was once again “declaring his allegiance to ABLP.”
The “tump U inna U mouth,” didn’t faze him so the gay bot was activated to accomplish the mission.
Asot’s return to ABLP would not only destabilize the ABLP to its foundations, it meant many would from the top down would be fearful to even speak in private, since their words could be recorded and land them in a federal penitentiary similar to Leroy king and Allen Stanford. Not to fret my boy, the RUSSIANS supposedly have a copy of Asot’s top secret files. Speaking of the Russians the Alfa Nero saga, from Russia with love is not even close to been done with in the International courts and these court cases are sucking the lifeblood out of the Nation’s treasury.
So keep been the Houdini for the ABLP and selling shit for candy to the People but one day this same shit could bury you like a ton of bricks even if you run to St. Lucia. You are well known to law enforcement agencies and you just might have to give answers to interrogators on the WIOC MADURO links. You love to pray so pray ten don’t have to visit you in a federal penitentiary similar to Leroy ‘come to papa’ king. You are an integral part of the FSRC now aren’t you?
The trut’ ah burn you backside Tenman.
Whenever you ABLP acolytes and Gastonites cannot respond to reasonable criticism and lack of transparency of the ABLP conducts itself in the political arena, you resort to the same old playbook of bitterness.
You’ve never mentioned about the seriousness of the vehicle acquisitions procurement scandal that isn’t being thoroughly being investigated, and a raft of other financial issues that not being dealt with.
That’s not being bitter, you damn ignorant bootlicker. It’s called being a concerned taxpaying citizen who demands to know how their taxes are being misused and abused by the ABLP.
BTW, the next time you respond to anything I write, try and make an effort to answer or readers will keep thinking that you’ve lost your mind.
Damn Gastonite simpleton … go give Chet Greene your support instead of that Dragoman Gaston Browne.
… And everybody know that the recently departed Asot Michael had things on Browne, and was more than likely ready to whistle-blow on him, but sadly he lost his life beforehand.
Too many UNWANTED coincidences hitting Antigua like this, and people like you continue to bury your head in the sand.
You unpatriotic lapdawg…
@ Gutter.. & Brix.. You uppites afraid of reality. Watch Brix trying to throw stone but forget he lives in a glass house. Its only the bitter who would lose their mind and think A&M would be the leader of ABLP. At that Barbuda event. AM also threw his support behind GB. Seems you forget these were the times when persons like RL and Shuggy were reaching out to ABLP leadership and stating the terms by which they would cross over. The saga continues of persons leaving that sinking ship. Its telling that the lawyer for the man who has admitted to killing AM is Chaku. Here is someone in higher leadership of the UPP representing the killer of the man who abandoned UPP. Is the UPP on a mission to ensure come whatever he never spills the beans on them? Just seems common sense to me (which clearly UPP lacks) that he should not have accepted that job. Let me predict for you that Chaku’s involvement will further stain the UPP
These far fetched conspiracy theories are laughable re Asot and his strong hold on the ABLP. This post is about back stabbing Shugy and the entire annihilation of The UPP single handily by D Giselle & Dunce Pringle. PAY ATTENTION!
Shugy is gay and so is Dane knight so those two have a common bond.
Shugy is useless to the UPP at this point and if I know D Giselle she will do Whatever it takes to rid the party of him (the cancer).
What really does this rude boy bring to the UPP? Absolutely Nothing. He’s untrainable, he’s a laggard, a party boy with no real desire or aspiration to become a Leader.
Shugy is a spent force and the people of SMS
should have pie of their face because they were warned.
Shugy is a marga dog you felt sorry for and now he’s turned around and bitten you with his venomous cancerous tongue. Tek that in ya nennen.
I will be front and center at convention.
