Walwyn says he has an issue with Lorna Smith
Sixth District Representative Myron Walwyn has stated that he still has an issue with Deputy Premier Lorna Smith, who pulled a major political move earlier this year by siding with the Virgin Islands Party (VIP) to form a coalition government.
Speaking in the House of Assembly on July 13, Walwyn first congratulated Smith for spearheading a series of meetings with business owners across the territory when she first took office as Minister for Financial Services, Labour, and Trade.
At the same time, the legislator tapped into the Virgin Islands vernacular to convey that he still has an issue with Smith, adding that she is aware of the problem he was speaking of.
“I want to congratulate the At-Large member (Lorna Smith) — Ah still vex with her. I ain’t talking to her. I’m still hot with her and she knows why I’m hot with her,” Walwyn said with a tone that drained some seriousness from his statement.
“But I want to congratulate her for what she has been doing,” he added. He didn’t state exactly why he was “still vexed” with Minister Smith.
It is unclear whether he was referring to Smith’s big move earlier this year when she aligned with the VIP and helped them to form the current government after the April 2023 election. Her move disappointed the members of the Opposition and many residents who said they had no idea the first-time legislator was capable of such a move.
Later on in the sitting, Smith responded to Walwyn’s comments when she rose to make her presentation in the House:
“I have to respond to my colleague from the Sixth [District],” Minister Smith said with a smile. “I am not vexed with you so you may as well start talking to me. Madam Speaker, I am delighted that I have the opportunity to serve the people of this territory in a way I promised to serve them and I have no intention of letting them down.”

Lorna is not charged with breach of trust for corruption over a $1.6 million dollar wall , so leave the lady alone she is in our corner
Myron and Lorna are open mind d to work for the good of the country
However, since VIP under Wheatley is runner ng the government, the country has REGRESS in numerous eays and this is not an attack on the party
Light block oit regular
Water issues worst
Road infrastructure going to the dogs
Maintenance of Govt buildings getting worst
Food prices escalating
Basis rent, is highly inflated
Government services lacking — phones lines ringing out with no one answering
The disrespect in hospitality services is getting worse
Our country was not like this ten years back . We had our social ills but it is getting worse
Myron is one of the most honest persons we had in politics. This bogus case that will be exposed was set up to get him out of politics. Some of his own NDP colleagues along with Andrew Fahie were the masterminds going down to the governor to make this an issue to get him out of the leadership challenge. Myron will be just fine. Even in the midst of the charge the people still voted him in by a landslide. God is in the midst. You just stand still Myron.
You ain’t no NDP. You’re a lying vip, wig wearing frog from Sea Cow’s Bay. Bring back all the grant money you get and put it back in the treasury.
the UK or the international community can never take the BVI serious. After voting a man who could end up in jail for stealing government funds over a wall to the House of Parliament is shameful.
Now he on here about he has issues with Lorna. The BVI remains lawless, how the hick would the UK remove the order in council?
look myron keep off sea cows bay you are the bull frog!!! because you said you are from sea cows bay. You ugly red eye criminal
This man mw will never be premier he reminds me of Edi Amin just loves power and very pathetic…..yuk on a good Wednesday morning
I join with you premier Walwyn, and it is going to happen, Mark my word. You must move hastily and get sl**man number 2 in the 8th out of leadership and possibly out of the hoa. Give up the 8th we can take the 9th.
90 percent of tolans disappointed with Lorna as well. We are in this mess because of her but that’s OK we are bringing back Maynard from Miami to take sl**man out.
Al**ra and fat girl out blogging early
That’s a low blow!! Lol
To lodger, use your own name, not mine, please.
I bet shes really gutted.
Your comment shows that you don’t know a thing about Idi Amin.
My run, Please stop blaming sea cows bay people for your demise . Not we tell you to go build thief money wall and none of us work with mi 5 and British police!!!!
I love the way you call out that wigged joker , who writes / and bloggs to whatever the writes and then turns around and blogg to his own bloggs / looks like them. White boyz / cindy and walwyn may have soiled his precious WiG/ he seems to have a personal vendetta , so we have keep an eye on wigo the weird-O
Some people keep talking about wall, but it was built and are still standing. What was so wrong in several people getting a piece of the work. You’ll need to leave Myron alone, he just get things done
It really didn’t matter who won last election that’s why a lot of people didn’t even bother vote. The opposition has one newcomer everybody else is the same old politicians who been in power before and had chance to make decisions for the territory before so why y’all feel like it would have been so different if Lorna didn’t do what she did and the opposition was the government?
Fu**yman go siddung had it not been for lorna you would be long gone out of BVI Politics ‘Who Know Knows…. you are an ungrateful man. me a beg u rest down lorna name dont let the public know all your dirty dealings and ways. rest yourself over there to the left (opposition) until your incarceration.
Diego…. Diego…… I know it is you, come out you red penn…. LOL LOL LOL
