Labour MP Oliver Ryan faces sanctions after being implicated in a WhatsApp group with racist and sexist comments. Despite his apology for not actively addressing the issues, an investigation continues into the group's conduct. Andrew Gwynne, also involved, was suspended after making derogatory remarks. Home Office minister Angela Eagle emphasized the unacceptable nature of the comments, confirming an inquiry into the group’s behavior. The chief whip will meet with Ryan to outline potential sanctions based on the context and nature of the discussions within the group.
Ryan has already apologised for failing to challenge some offensive comments made in a WhatsApp group that involved Labour councillors and officials.
Angela Eagle stated that the prime minister reacted strongly, indicating that the comments within the WhatsApp group are unacceptable and warrant an investigation.
