Browne highlighted his astonishment at the UPP’s approach to the leadership race, particularly in sidelining Pringle, who has served as the sole parliamentarian leader of the opposition.
He expressed disappointment at the lack of respect and gratitude shown towards Pringle, stating, “It is one of the biggest betrayals ever in the history of our politics.”
“Here you have Pringle serving as the sole parliamentarian, leader of the opposition, and that is the respect you show to a man who has been the lone standard bearer in the parliament for the UPP.”
The Prime Minister accused the UPP of clandestinely orchestrating moves to circumvent processes and undermine Pringle’s position.
He criticized the party for not consulting with constituents or informing Pringle properly about their decisions, leading to a lack of transparency and trust.
Browne remarked, “you didn’t have the decency to inform him you didn’t go to your constituents to consult you’re clandestinely got together did this letter to circumvent the process.”
Furthermore, Browne pointed out the attempts to create an impression that Pringle’s leadership is unwanted, citing maneuvers to promote Richard Lewis as part of this agenda.
He drew a parallel between the internal dynamics of the UPP and the historical narrative of Brutus and Caesar, implying a sense of betrayal and backstabbing within the party’s ranks. Browne stated, “in fact Richard Lewis is part of it too he’s he he you know the story there with Brutus and um Caesar.”
Browne also shared insights into his efforts to mentor Pringle and encourage his development within the opposition.
He highlighted the importance of building capacity through education and training, emphasizing the need for competence and integrity in leadership roles. Browne remarked, “I said to him within the up they have this tendency just to curse people to tear down people and not to build any capacity.”
Browne warned of the repercussions of such internal strife and betrayal, questioning how Pringle could trust those who had undermined and decimated him within the party. He called for a more honorable and transparent approach to leadership transitions within political parties to avoid damaging trust and credibility.
Browne stated, “how can Pringle trust those guys who literally be are well they beheaded him already as you say he’s a dead man yeah but just in case that he not necessarily dead but he dying and he survives MH how is Pringle going to trust those guys again can’t trust them.”

Wipe your ass that stink and shitty before you put your hands in other people shit Mr. Grabston Crooks Browner.
Oh shut up GASTON and MINIONS.
”Pringle dunce and can’t read”, but all of a sudden because Richard Lewis exposed the WIOC/IF ”scandal” he is the worse person.
R U TINK PEOPLE STUPID…..
GO SORT OUT THE SORDID STATE OF AFFAIRS IN ANTIGUA: THE ROADS, THE INFRASTRUCTURE, HEALTH SERVICES, THE ”NASTY”STATE OF ANTIGUA WITH THE FILTH AND STENCH.
HAVE U FORGOTTEN HOW YOU U GASTON TREATED LESTER BIRD DURING THE ABLP CONVENTION, that subsequently sent him to an early GRAVE?
THAT IS THE REASON U HAD TO QUICKLY GIVE MOLWYN AND ROBIN KNIGHTHOOD TO ”SILENCE” THEM. ALL OF YOU ARE JUST A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES.
YOU ARE NOW THE BIGGEST DEFENDER OF PRINGLE.
U CAN FOOL THE RED ANTS THEM BUT WE ARE NOT LUNATICS LIKE YOU, trying to create distraction from the WIOC/IF matter.
A bunch of hypocrites! Opportunist on this forum, a wicked man is talking about wicked! Bumkissers
I almost puked!!!!!! Lard have mercy. This politics game is really a mess. SO all of a sudden you are concerned about Jamal. You must have uttered those word tongue in cheek. Anyway I guess you have every right as the UPP had a soft spot to Asot when he was kicked to the curb after many wanted to see the IHI docusments and other papers to then expose the same Asot.
Oh shut up you narcissistic clown. Nice try at deflections. When is the next ALP convention? We hear Tek Chet wants to challenge you for leadership. UPP leadership race is no concern of yours.
Answer the damn questions. You were running your mouth about GBC as of you’re their P R O. Let’s hope your boy Brian Stewart Young doesn’t squeal to save his neck. Why hasn’t the FSRC spoken up? You’ve threatened them and their jobs, just like you did with the death shot ?
Gaston Browne you’re not going to weasel out of this one with your mudslinging and personal attacks. Oh, BTW. You lied about Richard Lewis and his book. It happened in 2001. Weren’t you a part of ALP then under Lester Bird?
Where is the Barbuda Irma relief money? Barbuda should take you to court for what’s rightfully theirs. Oh, you’re in a fine mess here.
Richard Lewis never owned a SWEETIE SHOP nor sell SUGAR CAKE from a tray. How the hell he wants to run country. UPP Executives never liked Pringle so They totally destroyed Him. They gave Him stupid notes to read in Parliament. Notes , Pringle doesn’t understand. It’s hurtful to hear Him in Parliament. Never improved.Pringle should never trust the UPP MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT and EXECUTIVES. They destroyed Him.
All the OLD BARBS should be removed from around UPP. UPP needs young minds if They would like to win election in next 20 years. How the hell Richard is so vocal and He is not the leader of UPP ? Confusion in UPP. SHAME. SHAME
@FERN
You not making no sense. You’re so melancholy. Go siddung. Waste
@FERN,
I am not one for throwing out insults, so I’ll refrain at this point.
You have quoted Gaston Browne’s response verbatim, when he tried to evade answering MP Lewis’ questions; with: “Richard Lewis never owned a SWEETIE SHOP nor sell SUGAR CAKE from a tray.
Owning sweetie shops and the like, are not the characteristics of a leader. Antigua and Barbuda needs leaders not “perpetual cleptos”.
Gaston Browne knows that there are individuals like you who will pick up that statement and run with it. That has always been a chapter in the ABLP play book.
When they are caught with their hands in the treasury vaults; they fabricate and throw out insults.
ABLP historically and Gaston Browne as leader and Prime minister know very well that individuals like you (political tools) will repeat and repeat and repeat the insults, and demeaning lies; hoping the caught in the act of “robbing the treasury vault” will go away.
There are two types who support what Gaston Browne and what he is doing as a PM: Those who benefits unfairly (not based on merit and productivity); and those who are uninformed and lack the ability to think for themselves.
My guess is, that you fall in one of those two above categories.
Want to see who a true leader?
Get your hands on the Curriculum Vitae of bot PM Gaston Browne and that of MP Richard Lewis, before both got elected to Parliament.
Don’t rely on what they say, but what is documented. I have seen Richard Lewis, double majors and triple Masters.
Waiting to see Gaston’s degree in Banking and Finance. BTW: A six-month certificate is not a degree.
Yes, CountryMan Abroad👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Now we know. Two qualifications for running a country are:
1. Run a sweetie shop.
2. Sell sugar cake from a tray.
Another qualification could be bouncing cheques before going into politics to fatten your empty wallet. It works !
@ oversee
Lol, CHIT, GAS-TOON were masters of this policy. They used to bounce cheque left, right and center, but not anymore since they became parliamentarians in 2014.
How can people who were dirt poor before 2014, overnight have become multi-millionaires? It is obvious: THROUGH CORRUPTION.
This move by Gaston Browne is what is classically known as Divide and Conquer. Set them against each other and watch them divide and fall apart. Not sure it will work this time though as Richard Lewis seems to have the vast majority support within the UPP. Good try, though.
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS GASTON BROWNE. YOU ARE SHOWING ALL THE SIGNS OF A DESPERATE AND AFRAID MAN.
The Prime Minister has been asked to provide details of the WIOC transfer of the property to his son; as well as the DCA lease arrangements with IF the corporation owned by his son.
He has been asked to provide details of property purchase, as well as of the lease arrangements.
While the Antigua and Barbuda is still awaiting answers; the Prime Minister is attempting to besmirch the character of the member of Parliament who is emerging as a formidable opponent.
Rather than answer the questions, PM Minister Browne is attempting the hit and run rope a dope game. He is no Mohammed Ali.
He has even re-announced a road repair program as a new initiative which was previously detailed three weeks ago.
That game no longer works. Those are the signs of a desperate man.
He is commenting on the Opposition Party maneuverings, none of which contravenes the UPP rules; while at the same time when withing his own ABLP primaries, a winner was declared.
The public disclosure of discredited process now leads to a runoff. How can the Antigua and Barbuda public have any faith or confidence in any election handled by ABLP people.
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE THE DETAILS. THAT IS WHAT THE PUBLIC WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU: MR. PRIME MINISTER
Where are the people who should be concerned about his mental state; are they only around him for gain? The man’s meds are exhausted, he needs a refill and the spin-doctors are not even bothered, they are impatiently waiting for the end of the month. Talking about Team Tenman.
There is a new Sheriff in town. What does Gansters do when a new sheriff arrives?
Only the gullible will believe a word about Gaston Browne’s “fake” feelings for the way the Honourable Jamale Pringle is being treated by his UPP colleagues.
Gaston continues his deflectionary tactics from the country’s terrible economic problems.
I can recall not too long ago, that the PM didn’t see Jamale Pringle as any threat to his leadership at all, and made many many derogatory remarks about him (as well as the Gastonites).
The rising, and up and coming stars like Richard Lewis in the UPP can easily dethrone Gaston Browne – and he well and know it!
And to read the Prime Minister talking about the lack of “transparency” and “integrity” made me laugh.
Boss! Stop worrying about the UPP leadership contest, and refocus your efforts on Antigua’s economic and infrastructure woes.
GASTON BROWNE IS OUT OF TOUCH AND SOON TO BE OUT OF OFFICE …
Richard Lewis is a ONE term MP. He will never win His seat again. Hon. Gaston Browne do not bother with Him.That seat will come back to ABLP.
Any chance @ FERN, that you can respond to ANY of the points I’ve mentioned?
PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE …
BTW, did you learn your deflectionary tactics from Gassssston? 😁
You just blowing spoke out of your ass Gaston Browne. We see through your madness it won’t work, take your pills and calm down.
…Eh! Eh! Aaaaa-Men! Aaaaa-Men!
…A_Amen! #Ah_Men_Ra! Amen!
…OK, Mr. PM! Mr. PM! Mr. PM!
…we comprehend your predicament
…’cause, it’s obvious; you’re about to lose

This is not about mental health; it is about the health of our democracy. The Prime Minister needs to answer Richard Lewis, and make the files available through a “Freedom of Information “request.
Many others have some mental health issues. For some its debilitating, and many are not aware of their mental health issues. Interestingly some are geniuses.
UWI Five islands stated recently that their new Phycology major is to produce professionals to handle the growing mental heal problems in Antigua and Barbuda.
Gaston enjoys when the public plays into his hand, by not asking for the files surrounding the purchase and rental and get caught up in the nasty stuff until the issue goes away.
The drumbeat has to get louder in the request for the details surrounding the transactions.
Antigua is generally an insane place. In most countries people care about important things like working together to produce healthy food, adequate purified water, adequate clothing, affordable housing, good preventative and also therapeutic healthcare, quality education, an accessible transportation system, good child services etc. etc. Here everyone fights against those who try to achieve any of that. People prefer all kinds of shenanigans to get by instead of healthy normal cooperation. It’s incredibly exasperating for normal people who try to live here. Sometimes it’s just best to lower your expectations and stay out of the fray…
GASTON “STACHE” BROWNE,WHEN IS THE CONVENTION OF YOUR GBLP(GASTON BROWNE LABOR PARTY).FOR THAT PARTY IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE,STACHE.YOU ARE TRYING YOUR BEST TO CHANGE THAT NARRATIVE.IN REGARDS TO YOUR INNER DEALINGS IN GOVERNANCE AND INTERACTIONS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS.THOSE WEST INDIES OIL BUILDINGS MATTER SURELY REEKS OF INSIDER INFORMATION.IN MOST COUNTRIES YOU WOULD BE KICKED OUT OF OFFICE AND BE REPLACED.THE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT TOLERATE SUCH BULL DUNG.BACK IN 1968,WE THE PEOPLE STOOD UP TO POLICE AND DEFENSE FORCE.THE LEADERS OF THAT TIME HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BACK DOWN.WE THE PEOPLE HAD THE FIGHT WITHIN US.WE NEED THAT BACK TODAY,TO FIGHT AGAINST STACHE BROWNE.
An analysis of the WIOC/IF Corp/DCA transaction.
In order to protect the innocent; I am not offering my analysis as facts; but opinions that should The Prime Minister and other parties want to clear up the questions concerning this transaction, and to prove my opinions to be wrong; then they should do so with documentations.
If they don’t, then its reasonable for the Antigua and Barbuda Taxpayers to feel once again they have been ripped-off and forced to pay higher burdensome taxes due to irregularities in Government.
FOLKS DON’T ALLOW GASTON BROWNE AND THE ABLP TO GET AWAY WITH INSULTS AND DEFLECTIONS.
THE PRIME MINISTER IS OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH THE DETAILS OF THE TRANSACTION BETWEEN HIS SON AND WIOC; WHICH IS A PUBLIC BENIFIT CORPORATION.
THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO SEE HOW WAS THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT STRUCTURED.
WAS THIS A “NO MONEY DOWN TRANSACTION”? WHEREBY, THE DCA RENTS ARE PAYING THE MORGAGE WITHOUT ANY FINANCIAL OUTLAY UPFRONT OR ALONG THE WAY BY THE NEW OWNER IF Corp. owned by GASTON BROWNE SON.
I CONTEND THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILTY, ….AGAIN, A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PURCHASE OF THE WIOC PROPERTY/ BUILDINGS WAS A “NO MONEY DOWN” TRANSACTION, WHERE THE PURCHASER MAKES NO DOWN PAYMENT.
A NO DOWNPAYMENT TRANSACTION IS NOT UNCOMMON IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE. SUCH TAKES PLACE WHEN THE TENANT IS KNOWN BEFOREHAND, AND THE TENANT IS A TRIPLE “A” RATED TENANT. GERALY GOVERNMENT MISTRIES AND PUBLIC COMPANIES.
IN THESE CASES, THE RENTAL PAYMENTS GOES DIRECTLY TO THE SELLER’S BANK ACCOUNT (WIOC IN THIS CASE)
NOT ONLY WITH DCA PAYING ALL THE TENANT UPGRADES, BUT THE RENT PAYMENTS BECOME A PASS THROUGH TO COVER THE WIOC PURCHASE MORTGAGE to IF Corp.
IF THAT IS THE SITUATION HERE THEN IT WOULD BE A LIKE A ZERO COST OF AQUISITION.
The result would be, (and we don’t know until The Prime minister have all the documents released; that (IF) Corporation (the new owner), and Gaston Browne’s son seemingly acquired the building for nothing. NADA.. NOT A PENNY.
It is the obligation of the Prime Minister Gaston Browne especially since it involves his son; to make the documents available to prove my assertions wrong to the Antigua and Barbuda Taxpayers.
GASTON “STACHE” BROWNE,WHEN IS THE CONVENTION OF YOUR GBLP(GASTON BROWNE LABOR PARTY).FOR THAT PARTY IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE,STACHE.YOU ARE TRYING YOUR BEST TO CHANGE THAT NARRATIVE.IN REGARDS TO YOUR INNER DEALINGS IN GOVERNANCE AND INTERACTIONS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS.THOSE WEST INDIES OIL BUILDINGS MATTER SURELY REEKS OF INSIDER INFORMATION.IN MOST COUNTRIES YOU WOULD BE KICKED OUT OF OFFICE AND BE REPLACED.THE PEOPLE SHOULD NOT TOLERATE SUCH BULL DUNG.BACK IN 1968,WE THE PEOPLE STOOD UP TO POLICE AND DEFENSE FORCE.THE LEADERS OF THAT TIME HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO BACK DOWN.WE THE PEOPLE HAD THE FIGHT WITHIN US.WE NEED THAT BACK TODAY,TO FIGHT AGAINST YOU STACHE BROWNE.
Could the Prime Minster tell us.Where is the SHEIKH and the title deed for the lands at Morris Bay,Old Road.It amazes me,how things are done by you and your Administration without over sight.Then it is swept under the rug secretly to die.A wey are we land deed garne,Gaston Browne?
This is what the PM does all the time . He is obviously trying his best to persuade people not too support Richard Lewis ,because he knows it will be hell for him if he wins. Obviously,Pringle is no match or threat to Gaston . Lewis is exposing all is nepotism .Vote Richard Lewis for a better Antigua and Barbuda !
UPP is the architect of most of its troubles. It has poor PR which is run on the basis of our business is our business and not other people’s business.
Somebody has to tell the ALPites that the nonsense they are speaking about Jahmale Pringle is untrue.
PRINGLE KNEW THE TRUTH.
He refused to meet with the others because he did not want to hear that truth.
Pringle was told about the support of the other MPs for Lewis and he gave his opinion.
To say he was blindsided is lying. He himself should put a stop to the lie.
The Labourites have ingested that and is making it their WE LOVE PRINGLE song.
Anyone remember when Sir Robin was removed as leader of the opposition in parliament? For the simple reason ..because he would not fired Weston from the Senate, guess who was the brain behind this back stabbing move As per Sir Lester…” GIVE ME AN ASPIRIN”
All Gaston a try do as he is been advise by the man from Barbados that married to a man is create sensationalism and emotional political melee that can destroy the party supporters morale towards the party, the media has program the citizens to be both apathetical and obedient, so the people never make up their minds on issues but accept the views of the controlling elites, people should have changes that break that illusion, and that goes to upp leadership and most eagerly anticipated by internal ALP members who think Gaston a family is a dynasty over antigua as v.c bird and his sons did from the 60’s until their political demise can’t wait to have a say in how the country should be run, rather than an impulsive kleptocratic bunch of politicians, considering how mr Linquist investigation was able to unearth past corruption.
