Labour MP Andrew Gwynne was dismissed as a health minister after sharing racist and sexist comments, including remarks about Diane Abbott and Angela Rayner in a WhatsApp group. Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook announced an investigation that could lead to further suspensions among other Labour members involved in the group. Gwynne apologized for his unacceptable and deeply concerning remarks but has not indicated plans to resign from his position as MP. The incident highlights Labour leader Keir Starmer's commitment to maintaining high standards within the party.
I deeply regret my badly misjudged comments and apologise for any offence I've caused. I've served the Labour party all my life.
