Disgraced Labour minister SACKED over vile Whatsapp messages wishing OAP would ‘die before next election’ A LABOUR minister has been sacked after sending vile posts - including saying he hoped a pensioner who did not vote Labour would die before the next election.
"It is shameful that a Labour Minister thinks it is appropriate to wish for the death of one of his own constituents - especially as his government has cruelly taken away Winter Fuel Payments and left vulnerable pensioners to freeze, and just goes to show how out of touch Labour are.”.
PM Sir Keir Starmer sacked Mr Gwynne from his job as Health Minister and suspended him from the Labour Party when told of the messages by The Mail on Sunday.
He also mocked Labour MP Diane Abbott’s historic achievement in becoming the first black MP at the Despatch Box in PMQs.
When one member asks if this groundbreaking moment for black Britons was a “joke”, Mr Gwynne told the group it was “because it's Black History Month apparently.”.
