Premier: I won’t bring up motion of no confidence with UK Minister
Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley said he will not raise the upcoming motion of no confidence against him with UK Overseas Territories (OT) Minister Stephen Doughty during the minister’s upcoming visit.
Minister Doughty is scheduled to be in the Virgin Islands from Monday, November 4, to Wednesday, November 6, to assess whether the Order in Council, currently held over the Territory, should be lifted.
During an interview on ZBVI Radio last Friday, the Premier responded to questions about whether he would discuss the motion with Doughty.
“I won’t be discussing it,” he said. “The minister will be meeting with the Opposition, and they will be able to speak to him about whatever they would like, but I won’t be bringing it up.”
Premier Wheatley indicated that he intends to focus on other priority areas during the discussions, including governance reforms, financial services — a portfolio he recently took on — and climate resilience.
In September, the Premier and other BVI officials traveled to the UK to advocate for the lifting of the Order in Council, despite the Territory not meeting the August 31 Commission of Inquiry (COI) deadline. Wheatley highlighted the government’s significant progress in pursuing sustainable development goals as evidence of its commitment.
Minister Doughty previously stated that he would need to personally visit the Territory to assess the progress made before making a final decision on lifting the Order.

Is saying v)> ah don’t think ah need to bring up that sh*t that the wannabe opposition trying to flex off on me with ( ah done do ah number on on them , either muh move on the power hungry frazier so since he under my control , they will be only making noise , which is all the do
is not the Premier’s strong suit!
I think the UK minister should bring it up. and in the name of Democracy find out what the intentions were behind walking out vs standing up and let the vote decide.
The Opposition members are not ready. Myron is the only one on that side with any fire and really saying anything with sense.
I hope the UK minister will take a good look at roads and the garbage lying around from seven years ago, and talk to some of the people of the BVI. I hope the opposition will push the no confidence so the minster can see beyond what Natalio Wheatley shows when he is in the kissing up.
Yes, Yes Minister, Three bags full Minister. Please don’t listen to those stray cat opposition members telling wicked tings about me. I’m running things good here and as you can see I’ve a got picture of your King on me wall next to the one of my mentor, the Hon Fahie.
And we and also now the UK Gov will have even less confidence in you and your Government.
To Minister Stephen Doughty,
Please, on your upcoming visit to the British Territory, the Virgin Islands ask the Premier of the Territory about the vote of No confidence in the Government of the VI that is currently lead by Premier Wheatley.
Many thanks,
The People of the VI
CONFIDENCE IN WHAT GOVERNMENT SADDLE UP FOR THE JOURNEY AHEAD THE TIMES ARE PERILOUS BE PREPARED AND GET YOUR HEART AND MIND RIGHT WITH GOD
Is there a way that the title Premier/leader can be remove from mentioning this *hole as such.For sure he is not my leader
Well opposition leader done gah an excuse for the DREDDED COI , AND WHAT ITS CAUSING / SO THE BIG youth CAN USE IT TOO – LIKE- HE DIDN’T FEEL SAFE AROUND RETARDED PEOPLE AFTER CERTAIN HOURS, AND SINCE CTHEY BENVY HIM FOR HIS POSITION , IT WAS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OF THE SAFETY TO DO THE MOONWALK OUTA THERE BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENED HIM OR ANY OF THE
OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS GOVERNMENT
Britain Rep will bring it up. Hope he has a good answer.
Dear UK OT Minister, please ask Sowande:
1) why he walked out the honorable house to avoid the no confidence vote
2) why he fired the honorable deputy Premier to replace her with a member of the opposition
3) why the people of the virgin islands are begging for the bare minimum standard in infrastructure and cannot see where all our tax money went
4) why the government received a 100 mil loan without discussing it with the house and why they feel the need to abuse the people’s money to go on trips
5) why the Premier GAVE AWAY 1/4 of a MILLION DOLLARS, following begging from a single member of the public, to fund a concert hosting a convicted criminal that is not in the country’s best interest at all
6) why the primer, being the minister of finance, seriously understated the finances of the territory in terms of the salary of the public servants
7) how many grants were given away (including to boyfriends, mothers and sisters of ministers) and why were they all not properly accounted for
8) why they operating like they need the UK to take over due to extreme incompetence or purely wicked intentions driven by greed with no regard for the law or the people.
I really think the OT Minister coming to the BVI to fire the Primer, dissolve the House and order a new election or to end the constitution and take over the territory.
DO NOT underestimate the power of a letter from a woman scorned or the opposition.
Someone HAS TO GET FIRED! This shite CANNOT continue. The young man has lost the plot, allegedly and is not serving the interest of the country or the people. The UK has an obligation to the people to remove him FORTHWITH!
