UK Health Minister Andrew Gwynne was dismissed by Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday after reports emerged of a disturbing WhatsApp message in which Gwynne wished death upon pensioners who did not vote for the Labour Party ahead of the next election.
The comments, exposed by The Mail, led to Gwynne’s suspension from the Labour Party. A government spokesperson stated that Starmer would not tolerate such behavior and would uphold high standards for public officials.
In response, Gwynne publicly apologized for his “badly misjudged comments” on social media, expressing regret for any offense caused. He acknowledged and accepted the party’s decision, offering his support despite his suspension.
