Leader of the Opposition Jamale Pringle has been ejected from today’s sitting of the Parliament following a fiery exchange with the Speaker of the House Osbert Fredrick.

Pringle, MP for All Saints East and St Luke, called the government unfair for not allowing him time to print out the source of evidence he was relying on in his contributions on the Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission Bill, 2026.

Pringle, prior to being ejected, told the Speaker that he did not respect his authority.

      yet you never hear the speaker speaking to the most rude PM. He is often most unfair to Single Pringle. The most he does is giggle at the PM’s rude and antagonizing behavior! Yes you are all just corrupt. Pringle needs to walk away and allow them to run Antigua like dictators. That is what Antiguans deserve!
