Health Minister Andrew Gwynne has been dismissed and suspended from the Labour Party after a newspaper exposed offensive and abusive WhatsApp messages he sent. The MP for Gorton and Denton reportedly insulted constituents, fellow MPs, and councillors in a group chat. Among his remarks, he wished for the death of an elderly woman who had complained about bin collections and made sexist and racist comments about colleagues. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer emphasized his commitment to high standards in public office, stating that he would not hesitate to take action against those who fail to meet them. Gwynne apologized on social media for his "badly misjudged" comments and expressed regret over his suspension, saying he would still support the party. A Labour spokesperson confirmed an investigation was underway, with swift action promised for any breaches of party standards.
