“They Would Burn Antigua to Rule Over the Ashes”: The Failure of the UPP’s Treacherous Power Play
In one of the most disgraceful political maneuvers in our nation’s history, the United Progressive Party (UPP) has once again proven that its lust for power knows no moral boundaries, no national loyalty, and no regard for the truth.
But justice has prevailed.
The recent decision by the United States court to quash the Alfa Nero-related subpoenas stands as a complete vindication of Prime Minister Gaston Browne and the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) administration.
It wasn’t just a legal victory—it was a monumental affirmation of truth over lies, patriotism over treason, and leadership over opportunism.
At the heart of this shameful episode lies an astonishing betrayal.
The UPP hierarchy, including its chairman Gisele Isaac and its leader, colluded with aggressive foreign interests—namely Yulia and her associates—in an attempt to smear the reputation of our Prime Minister and, by extension, the government of Antigua and Barbuda.
Their goal was simple yet sickening: to fabricate controversy, undermine confidence, and damage our nation’s international standing, all in pursuit of narrow political gain.
From claims that Prime Minister Browne is worth USD $700 million to bizarre accusations of ownership in WIOC and the National Housing Program, the UPP manufactured a web of deceit so vast that it defied logic.
Yet every single one of these claims has now been examined and utterly dismantled by the U.S. courts. Not one shred of credible evidence—no legitimate concern—has been upheld.
Their central narrative—surrounding an alleged “missing” $10 million—was nothing more than a Trojan horse, concealing a flood of falsehoods that backfired spectacularly.
Rather than tarnish the image of the Prime Minister, they succeeded only in destroying their own. Their lies have not only been exposed; they’ve been judged, rejected, and ridiculed on the international stage.
Let us be clear: this was not politics. This was betrayal.
The UPP’s actions were not simply misguided; they were treasonous.
In their desperate quest for power, they actively sought to bring down their own country, aligning themselves with foreign agents and feeding hostile narratives to international actors.
What kind of political party weaponizes external influence to destroy its own people’s trust and tarnish its own nation’s reputation?
Can these misleaders truly be trusted with the reins of government? Can a party so bereft of principles—so willing to lie, deceive, and conspire—be allowed to shape the future of our children?
Where is the Christian faction of the UPP? Bishop Dorsette must be rolling in his grave!
The UPP has proven itself to be a retrogressive and dangerous force, willing to destroy everything in its path if it means grabbing power.
Now I see why serious party members walk away with years of experience associated with the institution.
I understand why earnest and sincere elected MPs seek other constitutional avenues to promote nation-building.
While the ABLP has been working tirelessly to build this nation—investing in infrastructure, stabilizing the economy, and restoring global confidence—the UPP has been plotting its downfall, motivated not by love for the country but by raw ambition and vindictive spite.
This moment is not just a legal turning point—it is a moral reckoning. All right-thinking Antiguans and Barbudans must recognize the existential threat posed by the UPP’s brand of politics.
We must resist their lies, expose their tactics, and ensure they remain what they have become: a cautionary tale confined to the dustbin of political history.
Let this be a clear and final message to the UPP and its enablers: Antigua and Barbuda will not be ruled over ashes. The people of this proud nation will not be deceived. And the truth—however inconvenient for the desperate and deceitful—will always prevail.

not just burn Antigua…they would blow it up too!!! WIKKID SETTA UPP NEARGAH! Desperate for power and want to rule and ravage at all costs!!
Thanks for sharing this article,
I don’t understand why some citizens can’t put politics aside, And open their eyes clearly, just to see what the UPP Parliamentarians and supporters are trying to do the Prime Minister and his family,and even his administration…
Just at their black and blue faces – the result of yet another well deserved battering for their relentless efforts to destroy the country. If I can’t have you, then no one else will. An honestly conducted survey throughout the length and bredth of this country would reveal a public totally fed–up with the countless Nancy stories they spew daily.. The now more enlightened electorate are enraged by the cheap methodologies used by the black and blue wounded traitors to destroy this beloved Country. They clearly and obviously recognize the zero probability of their ever again being entrusted to lead this country and so they are going all out to burn it to the ground , a country where the “hag” and the dead-dog collector would reign supreme. These people should be tarred and feathered and chased from our shores into perpetual exile.
For goodness sake @ Shame and Disgrace. You can’t be living here in Antigua?
If so, you must have plenty running water, a generator to power your home when there are power cuts; the road outside your beautiful manicured house must be concreted, and your bank account and food cupboards are full to overflowing.
WHY DON’T YOU ABLP ACOLYTES ADMIT THAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS LACKING AFTER 11 YEARS?
SUE THEM.
GASTON AND HIS NEWLY BOUGHT OUT NEWSPAPER IS TRYING EVER SO HARD TO TARNISH THE UPP……..that it would seem that they are in power and the ABLP is in opposition.
WHAT DOES GASTON AND THE ABLP FEAR SO MUCH ABOUT THE OPPOSITION- the weakened opposition that he likes to describe them as.
THE ABLP and GASTON are sounding so desperate:
Every minute there is an article cussing the UPP and higlighting the emptiness of the governments activities.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE ARE PRAISING DEM OWNSELF, but take note:
PRIDE COMETH BEFORE A FALL AND A HAUGHTY SPIRIT BEFORE DESTRUCTION.
D.GISEL ,PRINGLE , DAVE LESTER PAYNE, MAGIC (JAIL BIRD HUGHES) should be JAILED.
LaboRAT, any characterization you give to the leadership you are giving ti tge leader of the ALP to.
Please do not forget that it is the ALP leader who planted his leader in the UPP.
His money was printed on the campaign paraphernalia.
The leader today is digging in deep.
If you find fault with him your leader has to assume some of that fault.
The leader of the UPP cannot look up to heaven and say that he is clean..
Writer please do not paint everyone with the same brush.
No. No. No. No. No.

You see the upp is just a “party” whereas the Labour Party is an INSITUTION!!! note the difference. coming together to be spiteful, vindictive, jealous and badminded to ABLP was not a good foundation for upp to stand on. The people of Antigua and Baburda and the world at large get to see what the upp is made of – rotten to the core, with maggots seeping out and a fecal stench. Run for the hill before the lipstick-wearing hog tramples you to death.
So wait, when Labour fight for power it’s strategy, but when UPP do it, it’s treachery?
All this fire talk while people cyah afford groceries.
