Labour Party delegates demand recount of Executive Committee elections
UPDATED: We need to correct the reporting because the meeting featured below took place yesterday with the meeting executing a recount and confirming that Wayne Sammut got more votes than Eman Felice. However a new meeting is being organised in the coming hours at CNL on this issue since Party delegates are still calling out…

Much ado about nothing at the Labour Party General Conference
The Labour Party’s annual general conference was uneventful and consisted of no new major announcements. Speakers at the conference included Alex Agius Saliba, Minister Glenn Bedingfield and Prime Minister Robert Abela who all indulged in beautiful pltitudes about how much they love their country and party. There were the usual redundant diatribes against the Opposition…

Alex Agius Saliba’s plans to elect his allies in the Labour Party’s executive have been foiled
Alex Agius Saliba campaigned for Norma Saliba to be elected as President of the Labour Party executive. He also campaigned for Georvin Bugeja to be elected as International Secretary. Both of them failed to get elected. Meanwhile, Alex Agius Saliba is already enjoying some fringe benefits as Deputy-Leader of the Labour Party. Here’s his car…

More disinformation campaigns by Joseph Muscat
It is definitely not my pleasure to defend Alex Sciberras, with whom I broke relations years ago (he used to be my lawyer). Those who know me personally, are also aware that he and I are not on good terms for personal reasons. However, I am also a journalist and I have a job to…

Norma Saliba pops out as a counter-candidate to Alex Sciberrras
It makes perfect sense that a servile and incompotent party hack such as Norma Saliba is being pushed by Prime Minister Robert Abela for the Presidency of the Labour Party. Both Robert Abela and Joseph Muscat would greatly prefer to have her onboard instead of Alex Sciberras. So the election for the this post will…

Alex Sciberras to contest the Labour Party’s Presidency
Ramona Attard, the President of the Labour Party’s executive, has just resigned, leaving the position vacant. Alex Sciberras has announced his intention to contest for the role. I was a bit surprised to hear the news. Alex Sciberras doesn’t have the support and popularity of a Labour politician. He was Mayor of Msida but that…

Backed by Silvio Scerri
I’ve already received two tips from different Labour sources about Ishmael Psaila that he is in cahoots with Silvio Scerri and he even bought or lived in a property of his in ?ejtun. Silvio Scerri is also pushing Ishmael Psaila as a nominee to the Executive Committee of the Labour Party. More on this later.…

No hints of a cabinet reshuffle: but Executive Committee will change
I have just confirmed that so far Robert Abela has called for no Minister to change their position or demote them and there has been no mention at all in yesterday’s meeting of a cabinet reshuffle. Rumours circulated last night that Clifton Grima may be uncertain of his position as he has yet to reply…

No direction and no change: just blaming the Executive Committee and moving on with more clientalism
President of the Labour Party Ramona Attard is next for the chop after the resignation of the Deputy-Leader Daniel Micallef as the whole Labour Party Executive Committee is set to be replaced. I’m not certain how Robert Abela is going to go about this purge because he would need the President to organise the Extroardinary…

Labour Party Parliamentary group and Executive Committee to meet Supreme Leader at CNL in half an hour
Soon, in the hours to come, a meeting will be held at CNL with Supreme Leader Robert Abela and the Labour Party Parliamentary Group and the Executive Committee. The atmosphere is tumultuous and rebellious to say the least with the Labour Party MPs finally finding a little bit of courage to face-off Supreme Leader and…

Scoop: Robert Abela bangs on the table and describes critics and rebels as “traitors”
Yesterday, Robert Abela called an urgent meeting of the Labour Party executive committee. It was very strange that he did so because such meetings are planned well in advance and he hadn’t attended a meeting since the committee voted to oust Rosianne Cutajar from the Parliamentary Group. Robert Abela hosted this meeting simply to shout,…

Robert Abela is bullying Labour Party members into supporting him
An urgent meeting of the Labour Party executive committee has been called tonight at 7 pm. This is very unusual because these kind of meetings are planned well in advance. It is unclear whether Robert Abela will be attending this meeting because Robert Abela has failed to attend the executive committee’s meetings ever since the…
