UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has dismissed Health Minister Andrew Gwynne and suspended his membership in the Labour Party following revelations of controversial WhatsApp messages.
According to British media reports, the messages included inappropriate comments related to the death of a pensioner, as well as remarks deemed antisemitic.
The content of the messages surfaced on Thursday, prompting an immediate response from the Prime Minister.
Gwynne’s dismissal marks a significant political shakeup within the UK government. His removal underscores the Labour Party’s commitment to addressing internal controversies and maintaining ethical standards among its officials.
The decision also comes at a time when the government is under increased scrutiny regarding its approach to social cohesion and combating discrimination.
With his expulsion from both the cabinet and the party, Gwynne's political future remains uncertain. Further details on potential investigations or legal repercussions may emerge in the coming days.
