Labour Suspends 11 Councillors Following WhatsApp Scandal
The Labour Party has suspended 11 councillors in connection with a controversial WhatsApp group, a development that follows the recent sacking of health minister Andrew Gwynne over messages he reportedly posted in the chat. The councillors, mostly from Tameside Council with two from Stockport Council, now face investigation as Labour enforces its disciplinary measures. Alison Gwynne, the wife of the ousted minister, has also been suspended. This comes after the party had already taken action against Burnley MP Oliver Ryan, who was removed from the Labour whip and will now sit as an independent MP in the Commons. On the suspensions, a Labour Party spokesperson stated: “As part of our WhatsApp group investigation, a group of councillors have been administratively suspended from the Labour Party. As soon as this group was brought to our attention, a thorough investigation was launched in line with the Labour Party’s rules and procedures, and this process is ongoing. Swift action will always be taken where individuals are found to have breached the high standards expected of them as Labour Party members.” The suspended councillors include Claire Reid, Jack Naylor, George Newton, Vincent Ricci, Charlotte Martin, Allison Gwynne, George Jones, Brenda Warrington, Denise Ward, David Sedgwick from Stockport Council, and Holly McCormack from Stockport Council. The suspensions follow reports that three Labour members of Tameside Council, Jack Naylor, Claire Reid, and George Newton, had already stepped away from their executive duties. A spokesperson for Tameside Labour confirmed that “Councillors Reid, Naylor and Newton have decided to step away from their executive duties at Tameside Council whilst an investigation by the Labour Party is underway.” Oliver Ryan, the recently elected Burnley MP, was also suspended after the contents of the WhatsApp group came to light. In response, he expressed deep regret, stating that he “deeply regrets” his comments, which a government source described as “unacceptable and deeply disappointing.” Reports suggest that Mr. Ryan had joked about a fellow Labour MP being gay. In a statement on X, Mr. Ryan apologized for remarks he made in the group between 2019 and early 2022. “Some of the comments made in that group were completely unacceptable, and I fully condemn them,” he said. He also admitted that he regretted not speaking out at the time and acknowledged that failing to do so was wrong. He confirmed that the WhatsApp group had been created by his former employer, Andrew Gwynne. Andrew Gwynne, who had held various frontbench roles in opposition, was dismissed as health minister and suspended from the party for alleged racist and sexist remarks made in the group. Reports suggest that he made racist comments about Labour MP Diane Abbott and sexist remarks about Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner. It is also alleged that he expressed hope that a pensioner would soon die after she inquired about bin collections and joked about a constituent being "mown down" by a truck. Mr. Gwynne has since apologized, stating he deeply regretted his “badly misjudged comments” and any offence caused. His suspension is the latest in a series of Labour disciplinary actions, following the resignations of former treasury minister Tulip Siddiq last month and ex-transport minister Louise Haigh in November.

The truck must have been over the weight limit which not uncommon, especially when hauling asphalt. Sounds like there needs to be a Runaway truck ramp built at the bottom of the hill.....
