Leader of the Barbados Labour Party, Mottley is Barbados’ first female Prime Minister. MP since 1994, she has held multiple ministerial portfolios, including the post of Attorney-General of Barbados. Having served two terms as the Leader of the Opposition, she won by a historic landslide in 2018, with the Mottley-led Barbados Labour Party securing all 30 seats in the House, the first party to accomplish this feat, with a clear 72.8% of the popular vote - the highest share ever achieved by a party in the nation's history. She ran on a promise of social justice in a time of deep austerity.

Motley is greatest when she's putting journalists in their place
Really wonderful to hear a different perspective than my local news. I had no idea about these issues effecting the islands. Also great to see and hear someone who looks like me who is educated, highly intelligent, and fierce.
PM Mia Mottley is a magnificent leader. The developing world indeed the the so-called first world too, need more leaders like her. Leaders who are well educated, dynamic, compassionate, firm and erudite. Respect and a big salute from India 🌾

On Point Ms. Mottley!! Speak loudly and truthfully!

A visionary and absolutely brilliant small country leader.
An inspirational message to all Pan Africans and smaller states that you have voice and the education to youth and democracy to all ex Colonial states that you have a voice not just a begging bowl. The Gambia should take note of her outline of Power that the elected should listen to population. Her dare to dream and dare to do means more in democracy than MLK dream speech. Great speech and delivery

BBC alway try to slip in a trick question, but Prime Minister Mia Mottley way to smart for them.
She is running another leg in the same relay race that Michael Manley ran in , and she is just as capable of gaining followers. However, the distance is not short: there are several other legs to cover. She is wise enough to choose an audience of young people to deliver such an important message. I admire her.

Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley is so smart. Truth be told I don't make it, a habit to listen and watch politicians speak, but Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley is the exception.
She touched my heart ❤
Respect, this is what Leadership should be instead of the sleazy self-serving corruption of many mediocre politicians of today
Great lecture, powerful questions, excellent answers. However, the domestic machine is now operating against the poor.
Oh my, we need such visionary leaders, now.
Great opening salutation.
Her support for the non-aligned movement reminds me of the policies and values of Jamaica's former Prime Minister, Michael Manley.
I really admire and adulate the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, for her values and intellect. Very inspirational indeed! May God bless her with good health and long life so she can continue to serve Barbados.
Awesome lecture by an awesome leader.
Thanks Mom.❤
Love her!
How I wish that African leaders reason like her. The black nations will be rebated sooner than later.
Thanks ❤Mom.
Some of the other Caribbeans prime Ministers or leaders are not for the people they are caught up trying to live like rich Americans by oppressing their own people. This is a fact no matters who does not want to hear. Visit the Caribbean and talk to the people they will let you know. My Love and good wishes to this leader.

Ms PM,you are educated do your research hx r we pears itself ,Do you recall the dark ages where over 50 million chriatians were kill by the popes ,well history will repeat itself ,Inform all Barbadians that the correct day to serve God is saturday,not sunday ,Ms PM declare saturday as the true day to worship God and Barbados will be spare from calamities, this is your warning to the people of Barbados ,turn back to God,repent and God will spare Barbados from calamities, Declare the only true day to worship God is saturday ,God bless ,santified this day it was from creation where this day was a reminder of creation.The false day of worship is sunday,Sunday, lied and told us this was for the jews,when I did my research I also learn that in Genesis it does not say anything about a jew,but it was for all people.

Awesome 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 and Interesting Q & A Prime Minister Mia Amor Motley
Mrs Mottley is the voice of the people worldwide and in particular the Carbbean. I pray God will help her to see fruition as the persons who need to act and initiate the most worthy growth development and sustainability will respond with urgency.
She is such a great speaker.
Thank you .

Mia I love you and you are a brilliant mind but what about my roast breadfruit when it's all I have to eat with no gas.
Mia Motley is Awesome. Good morning Thanks
Recognising that in the advancing global digital context, development and growth is mostly a function of our willingness and capacity to define and exploit "disruption" and not by the "extrapolation" of incumbent narratives... I would like to see the developing world make the multilateral investments necessary to define new frameworks that advance the potential and use of NFTs as a trading mechanism that can bypass the limitations of the global financial system.
Great lady!!! Bravo!
This woman could put, Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton, Sarskozy, Trudeau, Boris, and so many others to shame. What a fluent speech, what an amazing line of thought. Congrats dear PM, salut you from Portugal

More World Leaders like the Hon. Mia Motley. Great Caribbean Leader. The person that saved Guyana from PNC/ APNU dictatorship.
Barbadian up
Great leader not Caribbean but for Africans, she my role model, I usually refer to her good quality to address the global issues specially the economics issues that affect the developing countries Africa included and focus most on climate change in the Caribbean particularly her country that face major climate issues. I respect madam Mia Amor Motley the Barbadian PM.
Change must come!
i became a fun of her after BBC

An outstanding global Leader, epitome of eloquence in mannerisms and speech. May others can learn much from this wonderful, great lady. Love FROM FIJI ISLANDS.
She is the iron lady of Barbados. No nonsense.
From an individual to the nation, nothing works except personal interest.

Jamaican PM has done well for Jamaica. When people are backward they dont see the progress in front of them. They are stuck in their backwards and complain, complain instead of seeing progress being made. Jamaica has moved forward from the 1970s when shelves were empty and if food were available shop keepers would married them. I doubt you know what that means. Andrew Holness is an astounding leader.
