YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Health minister Andrew Gwynne has been sacked over comments posted on a WhatsApp group.

Mr Gwynne reportedly made antisemitic comments and "joked" about a pensioner constituent, saying he hope she died before the next election, according to the Daily Mail.

In the WhatsApp chat, which contained Labour councillors, party officials and at least one other MP, Mr Gwynne made racist comments about Labour MP Dianne Abbot, and sexist remarks about deputy prime minister Angela Rayner.
