Trevor Young Joins ABLP: Embracing Prime Minister Gaston Browne’s Anti-Corruption Stand
Trevor Young, previously affiliated with the United Progressive Party (UPP) and the Democratic National Alliance (DNA), has announced his decision to join the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP).
Speaking exclusively to Twin Island Media, Young shed light on his motivations behind this significant shift in allegiance.
“I am not a flip-flopper; I’m a realist,” Young asserted during the interview, emphasizing his pragmatic approach to politics.
He elaborated on his decision, citing Prime Minister Gaston Browne’s resolute stance against corruption as the driving force behind his alignment with the ABLP.
Young’s decision to align with the ABLP was deeply rooted in Browne’s consistent efforts to combat corruption within the country.
“When I saw Prime Minister Gaston Browne come out against corruption in this country three years ago, he was the only politician who came in sync with the book that I wrote,” Young explained, underscoring the resonance between Browne’s actions and his own beliefs.
The absence of a robust anti-corruption agenda in other political parties, according to Young, reinforced his decision to join the ABLP.
He expressed disappointment with his former parties, the UPP and the DNA, for their perceived failure to effectively address this critical issue.
“All the other politicians, all the other candidates for the elections in 2023 never fought corruption in a meaningful way,” Young lamented.
Young’s departure from the UPP was marked by his disillusionment with the party’s priorities.
He criticized the UPP’s focus on criticizing Browne rather than addressing core issues such as corruption.
“Before the United Progressive Party pointed their fight in the right direction, they pointed at Prime Minister Gaston Browne,” Young observed, highlighting the divergence in focus between his former party and the ABLP.
In response to potential challenges from the UPP regarding his claims, Young issued a bold challenge.
“I am waiting to see if anyone from the United Progressive Party can come out and refute anything I say,” he declared, demonstrating his readiness to engage in public discourse and defend his decision.
Trevor Young’s decision to join the ABLP underscores the shifting dynamics within Antigua and Barbuda’s political landscape.

Is this a joke?
The current members of the UPP must be very aware of the ABLP tactics in recruitment.
This is simply another way of moving towards a one party state in Antigua & Barbuda. Very dangerous for democracy.
When the UPP were in the doldrums in recent years, the ABLP and Gaston Browne didn’t give a damn.
Now fast-forward to today with UPP on the rise -after just missing out by a dozen or so of votes – the devilish tactic of Gaston Browne and his party, is to now hand out an olive branch to UPP members (even though in the past, he NEVER had a good word for any of them – he was comfortable with the status quo).
OUR DEMOCRACY IS NOW AT STAKE…
@ Brixtonian: I perhaps share yr sentiments of opposing the doctrines of the Labour party but I can’t comprehend as to why you have a bunch of buffoons in such high esteem to get an adept job done.
A word to the wise…… When u play with fire, you will surely get burn…. Trevor Young seems to be a force to reckon with….. UPP have to watch their steps or else mouth will open and Tory will jump out…! Hmmmm look a melee!
Trevor Young is delusional. He is a nut job. In politics nut-jobs can be dangerous and do a lot of damages.
The fact that he continues to be given an audience speaks volume to the state of the media in Antigua and Barbuda, as well as to the state of politics in Antigua and Barbuda.
The fact that each of the political parties have at some time taken him in as a candidate or a vocal member, Each one has different reasons.
It begs the question: Isn’t it better to have this delusional character on the inside pissing out, than to have him pissing in?
Anti corruption stance!!! Are you kidding me Trevor, in keeping with your book!!! lolololl.
No ship that is lost at see can give another ship directions think about that Joker…
You are a joke Sir a real Joke!!!
So from UPP to DNA to Labour Party u need to write 2 more books and say what a political prostitute you have become.
Waste of good social media space chupzzzzz….
Who you really think you’re fooling??
What ass kissers like YOU gonna tell ppl next election bcos YOU CANNOT BETRUSTED YOU GONNA CONVINCE PPL NOW ALP IS THE RIGHT CHOICE WHEN YOU IS A WHOLE FAKE
ANTIGUANS BETTER NOT LET PPL LIKE TREVOR GET IN POWER
Chupzzz we are now giving this man the attention he so sadly needs. 3 years ago ??? 3 years ago??? Gaston came out against corruption in this country.
Well that done gone out the dough lang time because he even encouraged his ministers just recently how to get rich quick. Your book need to burn.
Right now ALP loves him because he is doing his tell all talk show tour. They are trying to squeeze all kinds of dirt on the UPP out of him.
He is fast losing his grip on reality. The Labourites know this one is not a keeper. Just now he will say something on Point that he thought of Labour and Gaston while he was in UPP.
I give him 4 more months with Labour before they toss him out with the dishwater.
He can’t be serious. You curse the ABLP and Gaston Browne on corruption for so many years and all of a sudden they are the best thing since sliced bread and anti-corruption? None of the parties are anti-corruption. He is an opportunist that wants power.
Oh my goodness. This is insanity. What a joke.
Jumping from one political party to another is like an animal spreading disease.
The ABLP will accept anything.
I have very little respect for people who are disloyal.
Definition of a political prostitute
I’m sure when UPP is back in power he will rejoin them
Just imagine he gone join the group that are the biggest set of corrupt people help is lord Antigua gone crazy with these insane want to be
A drowning man trying to survive by holding on to straws. Brixtonian ,you are so right . Gaston is trying to destroy the UPP after saying to see all incapable. Do why accepting former members ? The candidate for ABLP use to campaign telling people how corrupt the ABLP is. I guess Gaston is taking all the low lives from the UPP. Very gullible people .
Young,you really joined the Labor Party looking for hand outs and a pay day.Gaston’s Anti-Corruption Stand,you say.Did you have too much to drink and or smoke.You could not be speaking about the Labor Party and Anti-Corruption in the same sentence.For in the Nation known as Antigua and Barbuda.LABOR PARTY AND CORRUPTION,BOBOL,ALL GO HAND IN HANDS AND POCKETS OF POLITICIANS FOR MANY DECADES NOW.I AM GOING BACK TO THE 1960’S TO NOW,2024.
Do you people really think Trevor Young cans up with that idea of Gaston against corruption?
That’s part of the message for the next election “Hon. Gaston Browne is against corruption”
The problem is UPP don’t see Trevor Young as any type of threat and will ignore him.
ABLP will give him every chance and outlets to drum that message and the useful idiots will parrot him and the crumb snatchers will defend him.
Trevor Young is now the messenger for ABLP. “We are the honest one’s” crusade
He may be nuts, but he is dangerous.
Trevor Young:Behavior is what a man does,not what he thinks,feels,or believes.I hope you do you live to regret going in to the bed of the DAWG.After you have lambasted his wife on the Political Platform of the UPP.
Young,you really joined the Labor Party looking for hand outs and a pay day.Gaston’s Anti-Corruption Stand,you say.Did you have too much to drink and or smoke.You could not be speaking about the Labor Party and Anti-Corruption in the same sentence.For in the Nation known as Antigua and Barbuda.LABOR PARTY AND CORRUPTION,BOBOL,ALL GO HAND IN HANDS AND POCKETS OF POLITICIANS FOR MANY DECADES NOW.I AM GOING BACK TO THE 1960’S TO NOW,2024.

In other words this government is playing by the hand book win by getting these, individual on there side., so people be aware of the brownies Cronies
@ Trevor
He has been ‘sanitized’ – poor BOI, his political career is over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What does Trevor, Joanne and Imhoff have in common? All primary LOSERS that got shafted and couldn’t take the loss.
I have a solution though- get some Angostura BITTERS for y’all bitterness.
There goes another one that gaston clown will have to sanitize!
Trevor wrong could never be right just a political prostitute that speak things far from the truth.
His ulterior motive to join the most corrupt party In the Caribbean seems to be self enrichment. He have a similar behavior to the Gaston Drown, when I watched the video
Antigua newsroom…WHERE is the coverage of the farmers which have been given 28 days to move based on some flimsy excuse? Thus is the nation’s food supply. We can’t eat half-finished houses.
Folk this is the way politics is played… No morals, no class, nothing to offer, but to hustle until he gets something.
This man is a bitter person, so his action is not subject to moral judgment because morality is not taken into consideration.
Should he not get what he is looking for from ABLP he may just form his own Political Party
ALP has caused to be worried following the brusing they got from the ballots last year. The Hitler who heads the ALP is the most corrupt and untrustworthy politician within the Caribbean.
Incase Trevor has forgotten, the Hitler in the Caribbean joined forces with his “tight friend” Olabanjo to engaged in human trafficking, which caused embarrassment to Antigua on a monumental international level.
As previously mentioned Trevor’s disloyalty will not go on noticed by the Hitler and once his his honey moon period is up he should avoid goingl to Devil’s Bridge.
The renegades who have jumped ship should ensure they have life jackets in readiness for the change of tide. UPP has demonstrated to be an United party, as was demonstrated in SMS, despite the Hitler intimidating tactics by turning up with the chief of police and the chief of the defence force UPP supporters remained steadfast and loyal.
UPP is in a good position than can be imagined and until the time comes UPP will continue gathering evidence to present to the electorates why ALP is unelectable. Incidentally, it has not gone unnoticed that the Hitler’s administration has commenced enslavement of our nation, they have destroyed 90 years of Argicultural development, forcing small farmers to go out of business, which will force Antigua to rely more heavily on foreign products.
And the list of flip-floppers, political prostitutes, traitors,and none-factors just increased by one. My God, what a corrupt, greedy, unprincipled, selfish country this has become. Folks, a man or woman just doesn’t wake up one day and metamorphose into a Judas, traitor, flip-flopper or political prostitute. The latent, reprehensible quality was there all the time. It just took the DAWG led administration to unveil the darkness.
ALP from antiquity has always been associated with corruption, bribery, bobol and greed.
What a colossal error in re-electing this idiot PM and his band of hoodlums!
Anti-corruption and Gaston Browne are two mutually exclusive terms, an oxymoron, a blatant contradiction of two events. The man is never far from questionable occurrences: GBC, Choksi, Olderbretch, Saab Moran, Verdi, the Chinese dude now in prison.
Like Max Hurst, Gaston Browne, Lamin Newton, Trevor Young has no credibility
…what really, comes to mind; this is the #actions of, a #juvenile_delinquent!
…but, then again isn’t this, the behaviour of many of those in government!

Trevor enjoyed embarrassing people in public, now look how the tables have turned. Treat people with kindness, respect and decency and it will come back to you.
I hope the Labour Party never runs this man as a candidate. It was obviously a mistake by UPP to have him. Could you ever imagine this person as a minister of government. Is this the best Antigua can do. I can’t even envision him being a competent police officer. This man’s only conviction is gaining some means of self enrichment.
Please stop making noise in Antigua and go and run for political office where you were born and see if they will have you. I guess Antigua is a who ever will may come.
Ok I get it, it’s a big price for newly defected opposition party member to come on and endorse things that stigmatized the prime minister name in the public, he will then pay his opponent to say he is great, I guess the next opponents will come an say nyamco save the country monies and alpha Niro is a great move, stand in line for your pay to say great things about Gaston.
