Kim Jong-un said that his country will continue to support the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine
UK Health Secretary Andrew Gwynne has been sacked over offensive comments made on a WhatsApp group. About this reported BBC with reference to the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
Gwynne is also suspended from the Labor Party after posting messages in which he made disparaging comments about voters, fellow MPs and local councillors.
A government official said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer holds high standards of behavior for public officials and will not hesitate to take action against those who do not meet those standards.
In a statement on social media X, Gwynn apologized for any offense his “inappropriate comments” may have caused and acknowledged the decision of the Prime Minister and the party. He said that despite the suspension, he would support the Labor Party.
According to the Mail on Sunday newspaper, in a group chat, Gwynn expressed a death wish to a 72-year-old woman who complained about garbage collection. He also “joked” that one of his constituents might get hit by a truck and made sexist and racist remarks.
The Conservative Party condemned the comments, saying they were indicative of deeper problems in the Labor Party that needed to be addressed immediately. Conservative Party co-chair Nigel Huddleston said Gwynn should be permanently expelled from the party.
Andrew Gwynn was first elected as an MP in 2005. He became the third government official who left office after last year’s elections. Earlier, Tulip Siddique, who resigned as finance minister amid allegations related to her aunt’s political movement in Bangladesh, and Louise Gay, who resigned as transport minister after pleading guilty to stealing a work mobile phone, resigned.
