Andrew Gwynne, a long-serving Labour MP, was dismissed from his position in the Department of Health and Social Care after his controversial comments were shared in an internal WhatsApp group. Following accusations of racism, sexism, and antisemitism, both the government and the Labour party took immediate action against him. Gwynne issued a public apology, expressing regret and understanding for the consequences of his actions, while reiterating his dedication to the Labour party he has served for two decades.
Gwynne, who has been an MP for 20 years, has been accused of making racist, sexist and antisemitic comments in messages posted to the chat group.
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.
