Political career

Following the Progressive Labour Party victory at the 2017 election, in which Caines was re-elected as member for Devonshire North West, Caines was appointed as Minister of National Security.

In 2018, Caines attracted media attention in both Bermuda and Britain, after he filmed himself asking female staff at the Cereal Killer Cafe in London whether "titty milk" was available, which he then posted to Instagram. After public criticism, Caines issued an apology, telling The Royal Gazette that he was "deeply disappointed" in himself.[3][4]
