Andrew Gwynne is alleged to have written a series of racist and sexist comments in a WhatsApp group with other local Labour Party figures.
A Labour minister has been sacked and suspended from the party after messages were exposed in which he said he hoped pensioners who did not support him would die before the next set of elections.
Andrew Gwynne, who was a health minister, was also accused of writing a series of other messages containing racist and sexist comments. They included apparent antisemitic remarks and demeaning comments about Angela Rayner, the deputy prime minister.
United Kingdom Prime Minister, Keir Starmer sacked Gwynne on Sunday over the vile and offensive Whatsapp group chat.
Gwynne, who was parliament member for Gorton and Denton was sacked after The Mail reported his WhatsApp message wishing death for pensioners who did not vote Labour Party before next election.
The erring PM was also suspended from the Labour Party for his offensive WhatsApp message.
A government spokesperson said Prime Minister Starmer frowned at Gwynne’s vile comments and was “determined to uphold high standards of those in public office.”
”Mr Starmer will not hesitate to take action against any minister who fails to meet these standards.”
Gwynne, in a post on X, apologised for his distasteful remarks that sparked calls for his sack among Brits.
He wrote, “I deeply regret my badly misjudged comments and apologise for any offence I’ve caused. I’ve served the Labour Party all my life and it was a huge honour to be appointed a minister by Keir Starmer.
“I entirely understand the decisions the PM and the party have taken and, while very sad to have been suspended, will support them in any way I can.”
