  1. Antigua Newsroom one of if not the best website for all things Antigua.
    Not being in Antigua this news site is the next best thing .
    No matter where I am in the world this is the place I ✔️ into to keep abreast.
    Not associated with ANR just calling it as it is
    Keep up the good work.

  2. So…Min of Finance & Min of Education in UK hustling various DONORS, businesses and unidentified investors.
    Couple of questions:
    Who is Min of Trade & Investment?
    What have PM & Min Ed ‘given or recieved’ in exchange for the agreements/promises & what not?

    • @Stay Alert. You can ask the UPP minister who still cant tell us what happened in his meetings with the ITALIANS. UPP really like ITALIANS and ITALIAN RESTAURANT w/Choksi

  4. WATCHING THE LIVE CEREMONY! Wonderful news for ABICE 👏 Kudos to the government and the Harrison Foundation 🇦🇬👍🏿🚩🙌🇦🇬🚩

  5. Not everyone will pursue “academics” so Good on you for covering the TECHNICAL & VOCATIONAL route. A WORLD-CLASS training facility 🇦🇬

  6. We wait to see what comes out of all this. We know our PM has a sense of grandeur, but doesn’t realize you need the infrastructure, both human and physical. Any other Caribbean leader invited, or was all this put on just for Antigua.

  7. Flying all over the place like wild geese looking election financing and collecting per diem. No benefits for Antigua.

    • Mind your bitter slimy spit don’t drown you Fool Ruler!!! “No benefits for Antigua” except a BRAND SPANKING NEW ABICE!! BADMIND a go kill you b4 diabetes

      Thank u Mr. Prime Minister and Harrison 🇦🇬

  8. My only concern with Antigua 🇦🇬 tying up any trade deals and business with the UK, is that Boris Johnson’s record of trying to renege on signed trade agreements, is not a good one.

    You only have to look at the way he’s now trying to renegotiate the Brexit deals with the EU that his own government drafted, drew up and signed trade deals with his legal representatives.

    Our Prime minister needs to be very wary of the duplicitous Boris Johnson, who has been sacked for lying and nefarious practices in the past, and is now holding on to his own premiership by his fingertips.
