AMBASSADOR DEAN JONAS SAID: The United Progressive Party (UPP) with only three deeply unfavorable candidates to choose from—Harriet, Edghill, and Whenner—the UPP has effectively signaled that it has no intention of seriously contesting the seat in St. Peter.

In what can only be described as an act of desperation, the party has opted for loyalty over competence, prioritizing internal politics instead of addressing the real needs of the people of St. Peter.
This reckless decision is a slap in the face to a constituency that has already endured neglect and mismanagement. Rather than seizing the opportunity to present a credible alternative, the UPP has fielded what can only be described as a “pappyshow” candidate—an embarrassing display of political theater that risks frustrating the community even further.

The courageous and responsible thing to do would have been to admit their lack of preparedness and refrain from fielding any candidate at all. Instead, the UPP has exposed the depth of its internal chaos and disorganization, leaving the residents of St. Peter wondering whether the party truly values their concerns.
The people of St. Peter deserve serious leadership and thoughtful representation—not political gimmickry. It is now clear that the UPP has abandoned its duty to the constituency, treating it as a comical Santa sideshow rather than a cornerstone of democratic governance.

Why does that ALP and is bunch of Useless Idiots believe that they should dictate what happens in the UPP. Though I sometimes do not agree with their doings I don’t think it is the business’s of the ALP and it’s operatives to decide what’s right or wrong for the UPP. Are they so scared of the potential of the UPP that everything done rattles them? Concentrate on ensuring the ALP remains in power forever to save their backbone from prison time and leave UPP alone. By the way, I have never heard of Whenner being described as a gender abusive man!!!!!!
What a crap article! Loyalty at this time in UPP is a most critical element; win, lose or draw. Mp Smith and the others have shown how fickle some can be and how ready ABLP is to “buy” them all out.
Another thing. Who does this media really belong to? It seems more like an ABLP mouthpiece of late than a forum for balance. Of course balance is a good thing but it seems like ABLP has made it their business to swamp it, since their earlier stance of trying to kill NewsCo did not work. Be careful please. ABLP is like a Python wrapping around you slowly until before you realize it, you are caught in a death vice.
A word to NewsCo, and UPP, is hopefully sufficient.
At least Redz is from St. Peter.
How can the UPP claim to be for youth empowerment and promise 25% youth in parliament then discard the same youth?
Kicking out out Redz to bring in an outsider and failed candidate is the real buzz on the ground right now.
Even UPP St. Peter-ites are kicking up! Think St. Peter people easy? That’s real community solidarity right there.
Wehner is DOA and his selection is further evidence of the limitless dunceness of the Pringle Puppet / Chaos Daemon (same person anyways)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What a joke! After months of “careful vetting” and comical delays , the long awaited UPP choice for St. Peter is (drum roll please) Gross Waste, George Wehner!!!!! May the spirit of Asot Michael haunt and confound them for this insult!
“This reckless decision is a slap in the face to a constituency THAT HAS ALREADY ENDURED NEGLECT AND MISMANAGEMENT. Rather than seizing the opportunity to present a CREDIBLE ALTERNATIVE, the UPP has fielded what can only be described as a “pappyshow” candidate—an embarrassing display of political theater that risks frustrating the community even further”.
Some questions for Dean Jonas:
Under which political party watch has St. Peter “ENDURED NEGLECT AND MISMANAGEMENT”? Isn’t it your political party the Antigua Labour Party?
Since you admit that St. Peter “ENDURED NEGLECT AND MISMANAGEMENT” and the U.P.P. according to you, has failed to seize the opportunity to present a CREDIBLE ALTERNATIVE, are you saying that the late Asot Michael was not a credible representative?
You seem to know a lot about St. Peter. Will you be given a Primary by your political party in
St. George or have you been bought out?
Dean Jonas, please crawl back under the rock from which you came out.
Is what happen to dean!? Tell Dean to shuttup and go sit down anywhere the only papyshow seen here is you.
Mary-John was right..ANR did sell out to the Labour Party
I was rooting for Dean Jonas in his recent legal battles with the RPFAB and their mishandling of his matter, but here he comes showing himself only to be a mouth piece for a party that has always exposed him as their very own “pappyshow”.
LOL! Dean gwarn go siddung!
Age & loyalty over leadership, likability and electability. George Whener is a runner not a winner by any stretch of the imagination. Isn’t this man a retiree? For his loyalty I wonder how much the pussy in boots with balls so hard has allocated to him so he can take the verbal abuse that is most certainly to come once he starts showing up in St Peters asking people for their votes.
“If you don’t get out my space ah go tump you inna you face” in St Peters is not a threat George, it’s a promise.
Dean found his voice after Gaston left his right boot up his ass. He can speak now because he’s been silenced with an ambassadorship because of the ABLP Cabal secrets which he’s now privy to. Asot’s murder is definitely keeping ABLP baboons in line.
Just last week, ANR published an article about Weston stating Asot was abandoned.
Y’all weren’t questioning where ANR stood then.
ANR published criticisms of the ABLP by Shugy and Richard Lewis.
Y’all didn’t question loyalty then but now they publish the opinions of a former MP criticizing the UPP, they’re bought out?
This lack of critical thinking by the UPP is just gonna turn people off.
Asot is more likely to haunt the ABLP for what they have done to him after all he has done to keep them in power, don’t worry time longer than rope. I can’t wait for the dominoes to start falling
Festive comment section 😂😂😂
Wehnr can be “loyal” and its great but Dean shouldn’t talk for the party he is loyal to?
News Room is sold out to ALP yet as GB revealed Saturday most letters to the editor, most UPP supporting comments and all Shugy content is from UPP’s very own Derede Whitlock typing away in the USA?
That doesn’t sound like a website that’s trying to lock out the failing UPP to me. What would be the point? The whole of Antigua sees where the UPP is trending. Next stop on the UPP highway to destruction is January 14th 2025!
Y’all blue coolaid drinkers are full of jokes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If the Mps weren’t soft as baby shxt and did as Knight suggested perhaps UPP could have a 1% chance…
Dean Jonas is on Point. UPP choose RUNNERS NOT WINNERS. UPP must blame itself and STOP blaming others. ZACKIE and BRIXTONIAN help DEMOLISHED UPP. Instead of talking the truth. They support UPP with STUPIDNESS.
Dean has to continue singing for his supper, remember he was made ambassador at large to keep him loyal, easy money will make people like Dean lickspittle and Gaston knows that, that’s why he can fling him and catch him like a sponge ball
Didn’t the UPP reject Whenner and replace him with Serpent? The UPP has no respect for St. Peters by imposing a loser and a reject on them.
@Truth Seeker: Isn’t the ABLP rejecting Dean Jonas in St. George’s, so what turns on your point Dean’s the wife beater ass?
UPP DUMPED Whener for Serpent. Now want to place Whener in St. Peter. Total DISRESPECT.
