PM Browne compares opposition to embattled UK PM Liz Truss

33

LOOP: Prime Minister Gaston Browne has told the Antigua and Barbuda electorate to pay close attention to what’s taking place in the United Kingdom as he believes it is a foreshadowing of what could come if they vote for the opposition United Progressive Party (UPP).

Browne has chided the UPP for selecting candidates for the upcoming General Election who are relatively new to politics and do not have experience running a government or large organisation.

In a post on Facebook, Browne stated “Many parallels with UK politics and the UPP. Incompetence, inexperience and a lack of commitment, fuelled by unbridled political ambition breed instability, chaos and confusion.”

“Let’s protect our state from the dead hands of [Harold] Lovell and the other charlatans and incompetents in the UPP.”

The prime minister’s comments followed his UK counterpart Liz Truss announcing her resignation as leader of the Conservative Party, just six weeks after she took over from Boris Johnson.

“I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected,” Truss said as she announced her resignation.

Truss, who was described by commentators as being inexperienced, was facing turmoil in the party after her disastrous economic plan and tax cuts sent the pound plunging and her government into chaos.

She will remain as prime minister until a successor is chosen.

Truss said the election to find a new Conservative Party leader will take place next week.

  1. MR.IMF ROMANTIC RHYTHMS WADADLI POWER CAN’T ABST HOTEL RIPOFF ABIB COLLAPSER BANKING-SECTOR COLLAPSER ANTI-UWI FIVE ISLANDS CAMPUS BAICO COLLAPSER etc ……

    • @ SHERFIELD BOWEN………

      IS GB TRYING TO STIFLE THE CUSTOMS BROKER CASE WITH CONSTANT DELAYS UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTIONS WHEN HE HOPES IT WILL ALL GO AWAY?

  2. The primary comparison is that like Liz, #UPPNEARGA are promising the world if they are elected with them knowing fully well these promises cant be met.

    • @ Just saying.
      Like Gaston’s failed promises: Remember 500 houses in 500 days
      Water flowing through the pipe in 14 days after election.
      Yida will contribute 2 billion to the economy
      Like WISEZ !
      Like the 26 failed ABLP projects
      Like the invisible cemetery
      Like Barbuda Airways
      Like Oasis ship that went to St. Kitts

      Just a few of the failed ABLP PROJECTS

      • He did promise 500 houses in 500 days
        It took longer he actually built 997 houses.
        Now UPP in 2004 promised 1000 houses in their 1st term they built 80plus houses in 10 years. Act like that’s not facts.

        • @ Jay jay

          You slightly mis-stated the number of houses built by Gaston.

          He actually built 9999999999999 houses.

          USEFUL IDIOT

        • This answer is for jay jay. Really 997 houses. this is not April 1.
          Furthermore, the houses are over-priced and have cracks in them.

      • Did the UPP promise a University of A&B?
        We have a University now done by the Gaston Browne Admin…
        Have you seen the number of ship calls we having fir the next 2 months ? Record breaking numbers … stay tuned

        • This answer is for jay jay.
          A record number of ships that give their money to Global Ports.
          At the same time, a record number of protests against the government for non-payment of money.
          Answer this question: If things are going so well, why are so many people dissatisfied .
          Remember, Gaston got 2 billion from the CIP so please don’t mention COVID or the war in Ukraine.

    • @ Just Saying

      IS GB and CUTIE TRYING TO STIFLE THE CUSTOMS BROKER CASE WITH CONSTANT DELAYS UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTIONS WHEN HE HOPES IT WILL ALL GO AWAY?

  3. Liz Truss could not do the job so had the decency to resign. Gaston cannot do the job so I wish he would do the right thing and go.
    Every week, some group or other protest against this government.

    Even dead bodies getting treated badly in this country.

    SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

  7. “Prime Minister Gaston Browne has told the Antigua and Barbuda electorate to pay close attention to what’s taking place in the United Kingdom …”

    Believe you me Prime Minister, the critical thinkers amongst the Antiguan electorate are doing just that.

    What you intentionally fail to mention, is that the United Kingdom are in total disarray and out of touch with their electorate after THREE terms in office.

    Their self-enrichment schemes regarding the track and trace app, contracts given to friends, family and associates, and not forgetting locking down the UK whereas, small businesses, schools closing unnecessarily, and the cost of living spiraled out of control.

    Doesn’t this all sound too familiar to what we are experiencing at present fellow citizens?

    THIS IS WHY A THIRD TERM OF OFFICE OF ABLP GOVERNANCE WILL BE DISASTROUS FOR ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA.

  8. Tessa would have been making a contribution to this article if she was alive. She was a very brilliant girl but fell for the exploits.

  9. The PM is correct on what is going to happen to Antigua — But it has absolutely nothing to do with the UPP party. The ABLB has already signed on to the globalist agenda 21/2030/2050 which is to crash westerner economies in order to usher in the Great Reset. All that is happening throughout the world is by design to bring in the NWO. We are just witnessing the beginning stages of the chaos that’s coming. Any UK leader that is selected will be a WEF puppet — I’m betting that BoJo will return. Prepare for hard times because a global recession or depression is coming in the near future.

  11. Gaston Browne, Antigua is governed by one dictator whose ministers are afraid to open their mouths. In looking around your cabinet, tell me who would takeover if something should happen to you. Most of your ministers are afraid to challenge you on any issue because you most likely have the goods on them and probably would not hesitate to expose them. Typical dictator behaviour, keep them happy with their self enrichment schemes and they dare not challenge.
    You may not be aware that most leaders and elected politicians in other countries don’t make divisions on their own, they have advisors and senior qualified civil servants. All UPP has to do is to consult with qualified individuals and I can assure you that there are Antiguans more qualified than you.

  12. Dead hand? Says the man who announced over 26 failed projects including 2 economic zones.
    At least Liz Truss lasted longer than Mr Singh from the Imperial Zone. He did a disappearing act after signing the lease on Gaston house.
    BTW is it true that Gaston’s house is now being rented to the scammers at Antigua Airways?

  13. Gaston, why are you working so hard to maintain power? Didn’t you say the suddon done set. Meaning you and family done rich? Do the country a favour and follow Liz Truss. At least she knew she had outlived her usefulness. But you nar go as Antigua was willed to you and the Labour Party.

  14. How the fact that 5 more years burning you all so. I drove on one of the bridges in city east today and saw the spot that #HFWL the soon the be troll will sit.

    • Answer to Just Saying. Thank God that Harold negotiated with the international body for the money for the bridges.

  15. Why should the Electorates in Antigua and Barbuda give a rats arse about what goes on in England? Antigua and Barbuda is in a financial bind. That is because of you and your lousy arse decisions making. As a so called Banker as you say. You could not watch or count my piggy bank. I would be so afraid of your glued fingers,very sticky with money. Cannot wait to see your arse booted out of Office by the way of the BALLOT. CALL THE ELECTIONS,NOW. CALL THE ELECTIONS,NOW !!

  16. WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE WORST ECONOMIC DOWNTURN IN THE HISTORY OF ANTIGUA.
    Don’t tell me of covid or the war in Ukraine… The people of Antigua and Barbuda should be allowed to have a general consensus before our representative vote in the “General ASSEMBLY.”

    Wasn’t Ukraine part of the USSR? HOW come the “West” is soo in love now with their sworn enemy? Do you think Europeans will stop fighting each other? In more recent times, didn’t they fight other people for land, religion, trade, the sea, other people’s resources?
    Didn’t we learn words like savages, inferiority, ignorant , monkey, uncivilized?
    It is said that in the abundance of water the fool is thirsty.

  17. Mami_Wata and Papa_Elegba and dem Obeah Bwoy Picknee say dat,

    A full time, fu term limits innah government.

    It’s TIME to set “Term Limits” on both the Lower and Upper Houses of Parliament.
