Political Leader of the People's National Movement, Pennelope Beckles, is pushing back against comments made by Tobago People's Party leader Farley Augustine, cautioning him to stay out of PNM affairs.

Her response follows remarks attributed to Augustine in a newspaper article, where he reportedly stated that Tobago is "not available" to her.

Ms. Beckles was speaking on Saturday during the PNM's launch of candidates for the upcoming Tobago House of Assembly election, held at the Magdalena Grand.
