Phillips apologises for comments

Member of Parliament Mikael Phillips has apologised for comments made during a presentation to constituents at the public session of the Manchester North West constituency conference last Saturday.

In a statement yesterday, Phillips noted that he made remarks that the constituency would never go into the hands of the Jamaica Labour Party, as the PNP, under his watch, would continue to work hard towards the further

development of the constituency to ensure that the seat is retained.

“If this was interpreted as derogatory to my political opponents and generally offensive to others, I am expressing regret,” the statement said. “I would like to apologise for any offence that my presentation may have caused.”
