United Kingdom health minister, Andrew Gwynne, was sacked on Sunday by Prime Minister Keir Starmer over vile and offensive Whatsapp group chat, wishing pensioners who did not vote for Labour Party dead.
Mr Gwynne, who was parliament member for Gorton and Denton, was sacked after The Mail reported his WhatsApp message wishing death for pensioners who did not vote Labour Party before next election.
The erring PM was also suspended from the Labour Party for his offensive Whatsapp message.
A government spokesperson said Mr Starmer frowned at Mr Gwynne’s vile comments and “determined to uphold high standards of those in public office.”
Mr Starmer “will not hesitate to take action against any minister who fails to meet these standards,” government spokesperson added.
Mr Gwynne, in a post on X, apologised for his distasteful remarks that sparked calls for his sack among Brits.
He wrote, “I deeply regret my badly misjudged commments and apologise for any offense 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.
“I entirely understand the decisions the PM and the party have taken and, while very sad to have been suspended, will support them in any way I can.”
