Premier should not get credit if Order in Council is lifted- Hon Skelton suggests
The Order in Council was put in place by the United Kingdom (UK) in 2022 to force the Virgin Islands to implement reforms recommended in the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) Report.
Premier Wheatley is scheduled to travel to the United Kingdom (UK) next week with Governor Daniel Pruce. While there the Premier said he intends to seek clarification on the review process and timeline and ultimately getting the Order lifred.
Sabotage?
Opposition Leader Hon Ronnie W. Skelton (AL) was looking forward to presenting the motion, which included several reasons, from lack of fiscal responsibility to neglect of key sectors. However Premier Wheatley successfully objected to its inclusion on the Order Paper since the proper procedure of the HoA was not followed by the Opposition.
Opposition Members walked out of the HoA; however, Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3) returned.
In a viral YouTube post, the Leader of the Opposition can be seen saying to a member of a local media house, “If he goes to London and he gets the Order in Council to be lifted then he’ll make it look like he get a brownie point.”
Hon Skelton failed to include this as part of the motion presented on the Order Paper which was before the HoA.
Premier Wheatley has labelled the Opposition as self serving and only focused on grabbing power.

Ayuh is the dumbest set of opposition... eeeever!
Regardless though, the people who will pay for its removal are the citizens, not members of the HOA leeching via massive rent payments from the government like you, Skelton.
by there pairs Let’s be real you think the UK don’t know the kind of mess you guys made of this country and what the premier inherited think it’s just say fix and it’s fix no but the UK is working along with our premier to get it right and they will lift the order but if it was under the opposition government the UK would’ve gone with the bvi already
there is no difference between NDP or PVIM that currently sits on the opposition bench they are the ones who spent tax money on such projects as that High School Wall: BVI Airways: Sewage in East End: The Pier Park
Non of the listed projects were completed yet your tax money can not be found in the Treasury; The current Members who Makes up the Opposition hands were in the Cookie Jar
What about those Machines that were purchased for Public Work and lasted a few months
Cindybest be careful. i have people that knows the true story why she is so bitter. But the heffa aint got no shame bag, and she like the ied piper with a bunch of @$$h*&^s following her. Set a jacks, and not the fish, the 4 legg

If the "opposition" and government come from the same group of people, they should be able to hold the same interests and work as one, for all of us local & plan for potential Belongers.
But really they want to be Englishmen so bad they fell for divide and conquer. sow confusion, build it into the legal system for full effect in perpetuity. Why do you think there is a KING and still a prime minister and his opposition?
The royals were smart in getting everyone below them to fight each other, blame each other and never does any critisim fall on them. The governor position is like the unelected king. Government & "opposition" are the fools they put in the ring to beat each other up. Jump the ring the true fight isnt in there... Who wants to be king of Tortola? infighting like idiots.
Rather leading your people out of the final grasp of slavery would be more rewarding & worthy of mention than a premiership bestowed by the former slave master & always under the Englishman governor.
No progress in fighting your own while the slave master mother/overseer country stays squeaky clean.
If he does, no credit if he does not, the blame.
Real jack donkey you aer by far
