Never in all my life have I seen so many roads in such a deplorable state, all at once. It’s an absolute disgrace, a safety hazard, and an expense waiting to happen!

The indiscipline on our roads goes beyond speeding and running lights. It’s the cars that park on main roads obstructing traffic. It’s the rolling stops at stop signs. It’s the stopping on pedestrian crossings. It’s the blocking of the entrance at the hospital.

I’ve noticed a trend with politics locally. There is a blow up in parliament and a race to get information out as quickly as possible. That information results in public confusion and then the most convoluted game of Chinese telephone begins led by usernameunknown557754

My country and her citizens are not a game and I need you ALL to get serious about duties you were elected to complete. There is so much work to be done and you’re redirecting energy to discussions about who touch the mace and who told who about what.

CONFLATION. PNP tries to trick by conflating 2 separate matters - a motion supporting Cuba + the UN vote. After voting for the motion, yesterday they tried a BACKDOOR way to link both.
Theyve a right to disagree but shldve done so with a no confidence vote, not censure motion

I’m gonna hold your hand while I say this ladies…
Normalize losing interest in a man the moment you spend more time decoding his behavior than enjoying his presence. Stop romanticizing mixed signals. Clarity is attractive. Consistency is sexy. And peace is nonnegotiable. Skip this sabbatical season.

🚨GORDON HOUSE: SOME IMPORTANT CONTEXT JAMAICANS SHOULD UNDERSTAND.
Following my conversation with Minister Floyd Green, Leader of Government Business, one distinction is particularly important: the original motion on Cuba addressed its economic and humanitarian conditions. It did not direct Jamaica to vote against the US embargo at the United Nations.
The Opposition supported that motion without proposing an amendment. Its subsequent censure motion challenged the Government's decision to abstain at the UN and sought to make that decision the subject of parliamentary condemnation. But how can the Government be accused of misleading Parliament over a position that the original motion did not expressly require it to disclose or defend?
The Opposition had other options: amend the original motion, introduce a separate substantive motion on Jamaica's foreign policy position, or use the International and External Affairs Committee to question the Ministry.
On Standing Order 38, I believe the Speaker acted within her authority. The provision exists to bring debate to a close, subject to safeguards against abuse and infringement of minority rights. Parliament cannot be expected to entertain hours of repetitive debate when the arguments have been made and the House is ready to decide.
Minister Green also disputes the claim that the Opposition requested a division on the closure question and was silenced. His account is that the request came later, as the House moved to the subsequent question. The distinction matters because two separate questions were before the House.
The episode also raises questions about whether the Opposition fully considered the original motion and the available parliamentary procedures before pursuing censure. That is a question worth examining, not a conclusion to assume.
Parliament must allow robust scrutiny, but scrutiny must operate within its rules. Disagreement with Government policy is not, by itself, evidence that Parliament was misled. And parliamentary procedure must be understood before it is used as a weapon in political argument.

Tbh even if Desmond McKenzie did everything he was accused of, it still wouldn’t justify this behaviour.
"UNFAITHFUL TO THE TRUTH"
If Member Phillips cannot honestly give account for his actions without adding lies and spinning the narrative, then His Leader and Party must decide if that is their standard...
He will not, however, be allowed to mislead Jamaicans about what we have seen with his own eyes, and then lay false allegations against other members and myself to cover for his actions.
The session of parliament was recorded for all to see. For MP Phillips to be so dishonest, as to accuse me of being malicious and making false statements when clear video evidence exists is beyond vile.
You pushed the Opposition leader not once, but TWICE. If you do not wish to Apologise to him that is okay but stop the fairy tales.
