UPP MPs Called Out for Lying About Anthony Smith Amid Allegations of Corruption
Members of Parliament (MPs) from the United Progressive Party (UPP) have been harshly criticized for their deceitful treatment of Anthony Smith, a former party member. Smith, who left the UPP months ago, has accused certain party figures of deliberately working to stifle his political career, casting doubt on the integrity of the party’s leadership and practices.
Anthony Smith’s departure from the UPP came after what he described as a series of manipulative and undermining actions aimed at damaging his reputation and hindering his chances of winning in future elections. According to Smith, his primary “sin” was his decision to run against Gisele Isaac in the UPP’s convention for the position of chairman. His challenge was met with resistance from key party figures, including Isaac and Jamal Pringle, which led Smith to feel isolated and betrayed within the party.
Smith claims that after the convention, Gisele Isaac and Jamal Pringle ceased communication with him, despite his attempts to reconcile and move forward. He reached out, hoping to mend relationships and foster unity within the party, but his efforts were rebuffed, leaving him feeling ostracized.
Smith revealed that there was an orchestrated plot to force him out of the party. It was discovered that a party lawyer and a costume maker were involved in the deceptive efforts.
There were claims that the convention itself was rigged. Some members of the party were reportedly bribed with “dutty money” (a term used to describe illicit payments) and other incentives, including a luxury car—a BMW—in exchange for their votes.
The situation took another turn when prominent figures within the UPP began retracting their earlier statements about Smith. Peter “Redz” Harriet, who had previously dismissed Smith’s claims, reversed his position and publicly acknowledged that Smith was right all along.
This admission by Harriet has further fueled the debate about the legitimacy of the convention and the party’s internal workings. Additionally, two other key figures, Algernon “Serpent” Watts and Kelvin “Shuggy” Simon, have now come forward to support Smith’s version of events.
Initially, both Watts and Simon had aligned themselves with the party’s narrative, backing the legitimacy of the convention and dismissing Smith’s accusations. However, they have since reversed their stance and concurred with Smith’s claims, adding weight to his allegations of manipulation and corruption within the UPP.
One of the most vocal critics of the UPP’s handling of Smith’s situation has been social media icon “Jtruth the Engineer.” Jtruth, who has a large following on various platforms, expressed outrage over how Watts and Simon used their influence to spread misinformation and protect the party’s interests. According to Jtruth, both Simon and Watts initially lied about Smith’s claims, using their platforms to defend the party’s unethical practices.
Now that Watts and Simon have admitted the truth, Jtruth is furious about how the truth was suppressed for so long at the expense of Smith’s reputation. “They used my platform to spread lies about Anthony Smith, and now they’re backtracking? This is a betrayal of everythingu I stand for,” Jtruth said in a social media post. His followers have rallied behind him, demanding accountability and transparency from the UPP.

All political parties in Antigua have their share of crooks, liars, fornicators, turncoats
and the likes, so what’s new?
The alleged killer, murderer, hitman who took out Asot, the recruit who kidnapped and allegedly murdered Chantel should speak their truth and the Nation will know who are liars as well. Gaston’s son implicated in the Alfa Nero Corruption Scandal must be pissing and shitting in his sleep.
Let’s hope Darwin Telemaeuw is not found like John Ashe or Jeffery Epstein. Less We Forget, allegations of corruption, corruption trials and sentencing have a way of following some of the same paths.
Are any of those UPP Members accused of lying, presently on a suicide watch?
Some of you people come online just because you all have no life. Asot died because he love man. When the truth comes out in court will you post and apologize that there was no hit man? When the Alfa Nero matter done and they find nothing will you comment that you was wrong? No you will not. You all love chat no f with no proof besides hear say. International people read these news and comments. What do you think people will want to travel to antigua 🇦🇬 when they see how you people post about your own country? You all sit on corners or in rum shops hear gossip and come post that shit online smh sickening 🤦. Love all you country first and not politics.
Another Corruption talk again? If is one thing when election is near acquisition keep rising.
One minute he good, next min he corrupted… LMAO… Please make allu minds
Same old politics… I even fed up..
LaboRATs again!!!!
Grasping at straws.
Was it any present UPP member or candidate who wrote the letter and describing ALP and Gaston in the lead uo to the 2023 elections?
No. It was the man who has been identified as the next ALP candidate for All Saints West.
So who is the lair?
If Serpent, Shuggy or Richard can be characteeised as a liar what does Anthony Smith qualify as?
A friend of the devil is the devil.
A comrade of Gaston is like Gaston..
If you are looking liars invade a cabinet meeting and you will find the makers, tellers, and sellers of lie.
The HON. ANTHONY SMITH has been thriving since leaving the TOXIC UPP cesspool of corruption and dictatorship behind!!! continue to SERVE THE PEOPLE Sir!
Stay focused!
The guy is not only a liar but a traitor/mercenary. We know that he was paid handsomely. The TEN MILLION U.S DOLLAR MAN exposed him very early by letting us know that they were in talks for some time. Imagine having a so-called trusted member in your camp, on the battle field and he’s in contact with the enemy and gives up your location?
you do not “KNOW” a thing!!! You just love run you mouth. Who is paying YOU? You talk about exposure. Well here äre some FACTS EXPOSED about UPP:
“Among the statements made by the FBI agent in a sworn deposition is that, on June 8th, 2014, Ashe told a representative of one of the entities that he is “going to Antigua on Thursday to vote and would need to take something for the PM. Hope I can have the $26K in cash before then”.
Earlier, in an email dated July 26th 2012 to other defendants, Ashe asked for US$300,000, stating that “these funds were intended as a show of good faith” to allow him “to start the conversation” with his interlocutors in Antigua. The FBI agent revealed in his deposition that “approximately US$100,000 was sent to the then Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer in Antigua shortly after Ashe received the requested US$300,000.
“According to the testimony of the FBI agent, “during the same period”, Ashe sent the then Prime Minister (Spencer) approximately US$170,000.
BLAME GASTON, I hope you realize what you posted is for both sides of the political divide. Sungu no better than Lungu – Both sides wearing the same Khaki Pants
Some of us hear what we want to hear and when we want to hear it.
Those MPs, individually or together, have NEVER contradicted Anthony Smith on the reasons he gave for leaving the UPP. They have always said that his treatment was poor. Even Smith at first had spoken favourably of the 3 MPs and the treatment they suffered together from the tone-deaf, arrogant leadership of the party.
The three MPs have always said they do not support Smith joining the ALP and how he did it, but they have never disputed that Smith was treated badly and had reasons for leaving, especially seeing that he contested the chairmanship of the party against the CHAOS DEMON who did not forget him for doing that.
Remember Smith was one of the four who wanted leadership change in the UPP.
So stop trying to look for justification. And go back to the tapes and listen carefully to what the MPs said last Saturday.
I know that somebody is making the rounds to rupture the paper trail of the U.S.$ 10 Mil. The investigatiors are asking questions that they already have answers to. The 10 MILLION U.S DOLLAR MAN has since put handcuffs and foot chains on his son and tossed him on the highway. That’s how much he cares about anybody other than himself. You will hear the recording very soon. Max is tired of lying for them now and he can’t seem to fabricate anything new.
Who cares about how J’truth? Gaston has put cheese in plenty mouths including the little beggar, J truth. Imagine the same one that was cussing Gaston stink for four years and more is now like a little mouse towards the PM. He actually said “better the devil you know.” imagine dat! Ever since Gaston went on his show and gave him the streaming work, he stop cuss them. The same man who cuss Pringle for months over one chair and cuss Gisele stink stink about her mc, now want to come down on big men who are speaking the truth! The little faker now forgot how he was cussing Giselle and Pringle stink, stink for months! But now he say mp’s must sit down and take cussing and not talk against the two people who he cuss out stink, stink, stink. But Antigua people running behind that hypocrite! Cheese in he mouth!
Jtruth is the biggest hypocrite. He said if Smith ever joins ablp, he will cure him.The story was published that Anthony is running on the ablp ticket. There was silence,complete silence from J-truth! Hypocrite dem de be! He used to cuss Gaston for hours during Covid, what happen, he change his mouth on the vaccine too? Who was forcing people to get the vaccine? Not the same nasty man that now putting cheese in his mouth?? Who was in charge of the police that came and hammer down his door soon after his baby was born? Not Gaston? But because he getting cheese in his mouth, allllll is forgiven. He continually said the Upp need to get the rid of the chairman and Pringle and gave many reasons. Now all of a sudden, the three mp’s wrong to speak out when they are saying the same, same things dat you best friend and sponsor Anthony was saying???? Dat sound logical? You think arwe forgot? The only explanation is that he got a change from somebody in the Upp and sang like a political prostitute. Nothing else makes sense.
You sound like a BITTER, ANGRY, BABY MAMA dat vex her baby daddy move on and has a new woman. Miss Knight would call u a useful idiot, but Joan say s/he jarz bigger than fu she
Know this for sure. Should Pringle ever step down, Richard would NEVER be at the helm..
And neither would Kel-Si..the Carnival Pastor
Be advised..
[…] UPP leaders and the members who support them are digging in regardless of how the party is portrayed in the public. They know there was hanky-panky at the convention resulting in a blowout win for chairman Gisele Isaac and political leader Jahmale Pringle, but still this is the cry from those who love their party and want so much to see the back of the ALP administration: […]
You wish! You are one of his sheep that can’t think for themselves. Hypocrite he be, just wait. When Mr Knight come back he go cuss J-lie cause he called his name. If he knows he’s a political prostitute then he should just admit it and stop lying to his followers.
@Blame Gaston you come across as someone who was abused physically and mentally, then your abuser or abusers paid you off to keep you quiet in the closet, while you keep been abused but won’t speak up because you’re fearful of exposing yourself and your abusers, therefore you keep taking the abuse.
Sorry for you but only well conditioned slaves think like you do.
Standing up for your rights is about the facts, of the matter. Imagine if all of our African fore-parents thought like you. Gaston would still be running around Point and Grays Farm with patches all over his clothes and walking bare feet in squalor.
It’s highly unlikely, that you’re a born and bred Antiguan who has to GROVEL at politicians doors just to survive, but more like an Antiguan who’s scared shitless, that politicians gravy train are drying up.
Who gives a rats ass about what tourists thinks because one thing is certain and anyone of them who are reading this can reply, Gaston Browne, the ABLP, Giselle Isaac, Jamal Pringle, the UPP would not be operating this way in their homeland and get away with such fuckeree.
