London: Prime Minister Keir Starmer dismissed a Minister of Health, Andrew Gwynne, and suspended her from the Labor Party after sending offensive messages to WhatsApp on voters and his deputies, which he admitted to have been “badly judged”.
Andrew Gwynne, who was Minister of Health, apologized on the X social media platform following a report from the Mail on Sunday That he had sent insulting Whatsapp messages and other members of the Parliament.
“I deeply regret my comments seriously poorly judged and I apologize for any offense that I have caused,” he said.
“I fully understand the decisions that the Prime Minister (Prime Minister) and the Party have taken and, although very sad to have been suspended, will support them in any way possible.”
A government spokesperson said Starmer was determined to comply with high public service driving standards.
“He will not hesitate to take measures against any minister who does not comply with these standards, as he did in this case,” said the spokesperson.
The Labor Party won a large majority in an election last July, but opinion polls show that its popularity has dropped since then, the party struggling after the false steps on donations and to stimulate economic growth.
