Labour MP Oliver Ryan has been suspended following his involvement in a WhatsApp group that included racist and offensive messages. The group, Trigger Me Timbers, featured various Labour councillors and MPs. Reports indicate Ryan mocked another MP's sexuality, leading to backlash from within the party. Health minister Andrew Gwynne was also implicated and has since been dismissed. Ryan's suspension exemplifies the Labour Party's commitment to high ethical standards, as they quickly launched an investigation upon discovering these communications. Ryan has publicly apologized for his involvement in the group's conversations.
I am very angry about this. I thought Oliver was a friend, as I did some work for him. You help these people and they stab you in the back.
As soon as this group was brought to our attention, a thorough investigation was launched and this process is ongoing in line with the Labour Party's rules and procedures.
