Labour MPs and members of WhatsApp group could be suspended after Gwynne sacking, govt says

- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Labour will punish any other MP or minister caught up in the Andrew Gwynne WhatsApp group scandal, housing minister Matthew Pennycook has told Sky News.
It comes after the health minister was sacked over a serious of leaked comments.
Mr Pennycook said: "I don't know, personally, what other people on that WhatsApp conversation have said... I've being very clear, there's an investigation taking place into the whole incident.
"What the public can take from the way the prime minister has acted decisively in this case to dismiss Andrew Gwynne is that if any other Labour MP or minister falls short he will act to uphold the highest standards in public office."

He’s only apologizing for getting caught out!
What else do they say behind closed doors!?
@@HemanthPercy Probably the same as many of the voting public ?
Nobody can take a joke anymore
@jjefferyworboys8138 yea and if members of the voting public acted like this online, they'd be reprimanded, sacked (depending on their job), and under Starmers new orwellian rules, could face a prison sentence
@@jjefferyworboys8138 And? That doesn't make what he said was right. Vile speech is still vile speech. In fact our politicians should be held to a higher standard than the public.
It just shows what they really think of the ordinary people of the UK.
It doesn't though does it? Suspended right away and will probably be removed from his seat soon so how does that justify "shows what they really think"
😂 Labour caught up in their own red tape crap. 🤣
This is what labour supporters wanted
@aleccap5946 Certainly is. The sacking within hours of this idiot is just what Labour voters wanted and expect from a Labour government not the crap we had with the tories
@@Redstef-m2r only got sacked because he got caught ffs
Suspended? If ordinary members of the public had said those things they would be on their way to prison.
Exactly
Surely what he related in black & white online to his 72 year old constituent WAS hate speech, why is it he’s not been arrested and being fast tracked into court to be sentenced?
this is not true
@forzanapoligoalok Labour voter.
6 month old account 😂 🤖
That's non crime hate speak, others have been locked up for less!
Suspended but still drawing their £97,000 annual salary!
Dont forget the million gbp TAX FREE PENSION
Plus getting his heating paid for while the pensioner he insulted probably doesn't.
@@rb1062plus expenses. Free fuel allowance for 2nd homes.
if I said that in Scotland I would be jailed fkn joke
Suspended? He should be sat in a police cell right now. Some of that material is criminal.
Exactly. Who else is in this toxic WhatsApp group?
Every Labour MP and Conservative MP
Absolutely. Racism and sexism are ultimate taboos in the Labour party... when it's directed towards their own!😊
@@coldbreeze6344 There may well be about 600 people in the House of Commons, all enjoying the financial rewards, entitlements and perks of serving in our parliament, while at the same time having a good laugh at the expense of the people they supposedly represent. What a terrible mess!
Mark Zuckerberg.
He was obviously messaging his like minded Liebour mates.
They should sack the whole group except the whistleblower
lol 😂😂😂😂
MP's cant be sacked, they are elected.
Any British people said anything like that, the police would be at the door and then hauled off to prison. Two tier.
Haha nice one
@@northwestcoast It’s true tho
Exactly, I said the same.
Yes dawn raids with the BBC filming and straight to a special court.
Yeah that's bollocks. Plus he has actually been punished, under the tories he probably would have got a promotion
Most of us could have guessed how these MPs really think about us. Now it’s confirmed.
Isn’t this hate speech?
No, no, no! We are supposed to believe they are on opposite sides. 😂 Don't ruin the narrative. The "right" are terrible and the "left" are amazing. Then we all pretend they aren't the same 😊
I'm not surprised, but I find it funny that they think they're better than us just because they have money and power. They get desperate for votes, and we're their best friends. They need us way more than we need them.
No, Not when THEY do it... 😡
Does he really think any differently from many of the voting public ?
Yes
The politics of spite is being revealed in all its ugly glory.
The party "for the people" ...absolute jokers the lot of them
No, he cleared the party of the faction who were for the people, it was the only way to win because people usually vote against their own interests.
That was many years ago anti british communists now.
I want to know what the other Labour goons on that Whatsapp message board said.
@allsorts- no he just lied through his teeth to win votes
Who ... the toxic Reform party ... fair enough
Suspended? They should all be sacked immediately.
And ARRESTED
Arrested for? I thought the right didn't want people being locked up for saying things on social media like this?
@@Business101HQ double standards?
One of us would be in jail.
@@stequality The right? Double standards and inconsistency? Never 🤣
Sounds about right for this government, surprised he wasn't promoted.
The Tories and Reform are in a bidding war for him.
How many mps are in the same WhatsApp group?
Yes agreed, why didn't someone on this group say something about this disgusting behaviour, or bring it to Starmers attention, u less they wholeheartedly agreed with the comments
@@julieatkin3188 Well, someone had to be in the group to leak the comments in the first place, I imagine they kept quiet for a while to get more evidence and comments that allowed Mr Gwynne to hang himself.
@denis We need names. Not cover ups!
Jonathan Reynolds, and he said nothing about it. Neither did any of the Labour councillors in the same WhatsApp group
It could be that someone on that group leaked it. How else could the Mail have got it? Legally, that is.
They're only making an example because they have to save their own skin, let's not pretend 90% of labour aren't like this in private
And a 100% of the Tories and Reform are like this in public.
@@jackdubz4247
Silly sausage.
The prime minister needs to resign. The exposure will continue until every swarm creature is drained out of the British government. We need a righteous breed to get this nation out of the pit and back on the path of greatness which is godliness. Jesus is King and Lord 👑
Have we forgotten Boris and Partygate so soon.
Picking a number out of the air and branding one party worse than another is just malicious speculation.
I suspect, but can not prove that there are MP's across the board who have less than admirable qualities about them. They are, as are we, human, after all.
Baseless assumption.
Anti British labour needs to go
Starting with starmer
Real Labour speaking out...
Real person speaking out, the only difference is his comments were made public.
Why stop at one? The whole damned lot need suspending
In every party ? What about the voting public, should they also be suspended from their jobs, many will have said similar things over the years ?
They need to sack the whole lot of the labour government for what there doing to this country
They inherited a rotting corpse of a country from the Tories. That's not to say they shouldn't be doing better; they should, but the Tories are worse.
They will be, for sure, but it will take four years and a lot more destruction, sadly.
@ Things have got progressively worse since Blair.
@@Essemm52 no thatcher
Let's be honest, this how Labour and its leader think about us.
Load of bollox mate
@Redstef-m2r no it isn't
Derek Conner aka Abdul Muhammad Muhammad 😅
And your proof is what
@@Redstef-m2r your asking for proof ? Go back to sleep
Sir Keir didn't do the right thing, he didnt sack himself 🙄
Hahaha 😂😂😂😂
MP's can't be sacked, they are elected.
@@jjefferyworboys8138sorry Jeff...Proceedings are initiated only if an MP is found guilty of wrongdoing fulfilling certain criteria. A petition is successful if at least one in ten voters in the constituency sign. Successful petitions result in the MP vacating the seat, triggering a by-election.
Never vote for the uniparty again. All as soulless as eachother.
What has "soul" to do with anything.
I think there's a lot more then just him, we know what they all think of the elderly, ((The labour party))
They probably think OAPS are the richest demographic, and they'd be right.
They don't even have to say it. Actions speak louder than words.
@@paladin56 Agree 💯
Oliver Ryan MP for Burnley.
As a pensioner and a "we had it so easy boomer" I know what many younger people think of us too.
THE COMMON PUBLIC WOULD SEE PRISON FOR THIS MAKE IT MAKE SENSE
Complete and utter nonsense. If we put people in prison for joking about the death of those they serve then most care workers would be in jail. Which they aren’t so this is tosh
Two tier justice.
Starmer has jailed people for less!!
Who?
@@mutton_man Peter Lynch. But to be fair I'm pretty sure he was the only one (I could be wrong though).
Do try to keep up@@mutton_man
@lentilsoup460 I don't see the connection with Peter lynch? Starmer wasn't involved in his arrest.
@@mutton_man Good point actually; I assumed it was due to the government wanting harsher sentencing/more arrests, but since it was one guy and not widespread, it was probably just that court or judge.
……and this is the problem with career politicians. MPs, Local Councillors and Mayors should have a term limit.
His just the tip of the iceberg.
A dirty pack of cards
Our wonderful labour MP's who clapped and cheered when the pensioner's winter fuel payment was taken away. ?
Shake hands with tory pty
So the 'tough decisions' could not have been that tough then. Rather, they must have been quite easy decisions to make considering their seeming contempt for older, vulnerable ones.
@@carolan3269 Its rather sad when people have 40 plus years to plan for a comfortable retirement that some don't bother. Don't make that mistake.
Anyone in that WhatsApp group should be sacked for not reporting it, end of!
By labours rules...he should be in prison
I hope Angela Rayner and Rachel from Accounts get suspended
He's still an MP.. WHY
He was elected by his constituents, he can't be sacked by the PM.
There should be an immediate police investigation. What the guy said could well merit prosecutions and it is more than likely others in the WhatsApp group are liable also,whatever the colour of their politics are.
Yer surveillance on the government’s WhatsApp groups because there seems to be a hell of a lot there doing behind the electorates back
Surely what he related in black & white online to his 72 year old constituent WAS hate speech, why is it he’s not been arrested and being fast tracked into court to be sentenced?
They really are utterly deplorable.
This MP said out loud what the rest of the Labour Party think about us
The Labour Party and their police hate us, i do not think of them as British.
And the labour voters will still vote for them
They all need investigating, it just shows what Labour think of the British people
This man should be made to resign. Awful statements to make
Get them all out, General Election please.
Who else was in this chat group? What else was said and who said it? Did anyone push back against the unacceptable language in this group?
The Whistle Blower..
Oliver Ryan MP for Burnley was in the group. He said nothing.
Poor Sly News having to report on their own disgraceful party 😂
Why is he suspended? He should be sacked.
Prison if he was ‘right wing’
MP's can't be sacked, they are elected by their constituents.
@ he’s far left
In JAIL
Anyone else in this group who laughed or were complicit with what he said should also be sacked, the whole conversations from these groups should be exposed now.
We need to suspend the entire Labour Party!
The final straw was when he said that the bbc and sky are the best around for telling the truth 😂
Perhaps he's planning a career as a comedian when he gets booted out.
PENNYCOCK ANOTHER ONE OF STARMERS YES MEN
Pennyycrook.
He used to be a spokesman for Labour about 10 yrs ago 😮
Come on !
We all know they are like that sadly this first one is not as rich as Bojo or the PM so it's more difficult to get away with it.
Those people in government are not the best our country has to offer but the worst and it's due to our political system.
It's a pity he didn't take starmer with him 😂
Upticking your own posts is very needy.
@tatata1543 do what 🤔
@ do one 🙂
Disgraceful behaviour the only thing he's truly sorry about is being caught out.
he should be in jail , if it was any of us that said this about an MPs we would be arrested and put in jail
Someone I know got arrested for criticising the east. This guy wished someone croaked and only got suspended.
“Party for the people”
My arse!
People are doing jail time for far less than this mans comments
Let’s see if starmer clears a place in prison for him as quick as he did for others, but no he won’t will he !
How coincidental that this happened to get leaked just as Starmergeddon needed a distraction from his involvement in the mid-east being put under the microscope of late...
He wrote the offensive messages, he admits it. There’s no conspiracy. He’s a nasty idiot and has no place in public service - sooner he steps down as an MP the better.
Not going to happen Two Tier Keir is too weak to sack them.
And I want to hear the lewd, sexist joke about Angela Rayner before I can make a balanced judgement.
Making a lewd joke about Angela Rayner was unbelievable, erm sorry - unforgivable.
It’s pretty bad.
@dcoughla681 Hopefully.
Should be in jail, simple
Who decides ? Becuase kier should get sacked
Whoever that is.
He will still be payed I wouldn’t trust any of them. Why’s he not going to prison.
L is for Labour, L is for Lice.
Harry Enfield and still funny?
R is for reform, r is for rancid
L is for Labour, L is for Loathed.
@@ozjobreform living in your head rent free 😂
@@lewis123417 it wont be free once Reform start charging for NHS appointments though.
They will all say the same stuff while sat in their mansions laughing at all us normal folk having to put up with their awful decisions year in year out.
Mansions ? That's funny.
Free the political prisoners
Absolutely disgusting. Worst government ever.
Never vote Labour again
At least the next 100 years
Disgusting party
This guy is British so no reason not to have the police question and arrest him for hate speech. So lets see if it’s one rule for one and one for another
The first clip with Boris Johnson, he referenced winter fuel payments in relation to the Tories. Who ironically kept them, while this Labour MP voted against!
He should be sacked no ifs or buts the man in no 10 who vetted this idiot
Tory MP's and Prime Ministers survived far worse behaviour.
@@allsorts- Doesn't make this any better. Being better than the Tories is an extremely low standard. It's like comparing Labour to sewer rats. Actually, even the average rat probably has more empathy than Suella Braverman.
@lentilsoup460
Being better than the Tories IS a low standard. And Labour couldn't even achieve that.
MP's can't be sacked, they are elected by their constituents.
@@allsorts- Two wrongs don't make a right, grow up and face the facts, Labour are no better than the Tories, scandal after scandal in record time !
Why has he only been suspended and no doubt on full pay
I'm amazed sky news didn't keep all this quiet. On Starmers orders
But surely kier should be fast tracking him to prison, and he could have opened the court on Sunday to get him sentenced for 2/3 years.
Starmer and the highest standards are strangers
Unfortunately that is how our so called leaders think of us
Every time Angela rayner is being interviewed I think it’s a comedy sketch.
The best comedy act in no10
The best comedy act in no 10
Nar…….the best comedy sketch is what going on at the treasury 😅
She was probably in the group calling herself
@Steve-uf8pk
That's kind of tragi-comic, though.
How vile and disgusting.Thoroughly unfit for any role.
Can we juat get rid of #stuckfarmer first
I used to have to listen to this anti-working class / anti-OAP / anti-Jewish vitriol every day when I worked in government during the days of Blair and Brown. Though I was mainly hearing it from upper-middle class, New-Labour voting quango leaders (and their government department bosses), the MPs could dole it out as well, when given half a chance to do so.
I am told that things are even worse under Starmer and Rayner, as Starmer sticks dogmatically to the prejudices of Stalin (who wiped out farmers, the army, academics, doctors and private enterprise while - like Starmer - supporting his newly politicised and militarised police and judiciary.)
Starmer has said that people should be thrown in prison for less than this
he didn't
@forzanapoligoalhe has. They're in prison for tweets etc.
@@DeborahBullock-j4b google it and see that's actually not the case
@forzanapoligoal except he did though
@@AndyCarrington-cf3ib not for the same thing
If he is sorry he can tell us who else was in the group right ?
Reform🇬🇧 100%
LIEbour needs routing out and putting on trial for being TRAITORS !!
Suspended on full pay, no doubt. Gwynne is only saying what a lot of MP's probably think, and they wont all be from the Labour Party
Very true and many of voting public probably think very similar things too ?
Far worse than any of those starmer jailed for hate speach
Surely what he related in black & white online to his 72 year old constituent WAS hat speech, why is it he’s not been arrested and being fast tracked into court to be sentenced?
Is Keir going to resign for breaking lockdown (multiple times)???
Let's hope kiers in the group lol
This is the tip of the iceberg‼️
Him, his views and his words sum up labour perfectly… they’re all trash with no souls
Why isn’t Gwynn on remand for his insulting words
This creature should be dismissed from his job as an MP with immediate effect!
A election for his seat also held.
@@davidmcintyre998 Not going to happen. Keir Starmer won’t fire him or anyone.
MP's are elected by their constituents, so the PM can't sack him.
His obvious utter contempt for his constituents is nothing we all haven't seen until now given this government's actions. He was just caught doing it
Frustrated Camp guards 💡
Does this creep still draw a wage 0:57
will they be rushed through the courts and jailed for ''hate speech'' ? will they fk.........
HATE SPEECH PRISON
They all hate us, he’s no different in that respect.
At least Starmer didn’t settle for an apology like the Tory leaders always did!
No he just shows that nobody is indispensable to him. He doesn't give a toss about people. Even his own.
@@DeborahBullock-j4b I mean Starmer can't really just let the MP get away with saying he wants pensioners to die and hating Jews. Not exactly a good look.
@lentilsoup460 totally agree.
@lentilsoup460 there are people in jail for less.
Typical Labourites….always looking to spin a positive for their party over the opposition 😂
It's not fair WhatsApp should be personal his comments should be protected by WhatsApp
A big girls blouse 😂
A bit sexist for someone from the 'inclusive' Labour Party. A bit of fat shaming as well.
We knew they hated us, but it's nice to see the evidence. We can't hate Labour enough.
All's fair then, hate on both sides.
His comments are actually "echoed" by the Labour Party. A scapegoat has been slaughtered!
