But Britain must............ for no reason really

A bit of reality please. However the govt deals with this will not affect us in any meaningful way on the world stage one iota.

Clichéd nonsense, international reputation:-)

Career over I'd say



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.

A government spokesperson said: "The prime minister is determined to uphold high standards of conduct in public office and lead a government in the service of working people. He will not hesitate to take action against any minister who fails to meet these standards, as he has in this case."

A Labour spokesperson confirmed Mr Gwynne had been suspended as a member of the Labour party.

"We are investigating comments made in this WhatsApp group in line with the Labour Party's rules and procedures," they said. "Swift action will be taken if individuals are found to have breached the high standards expected of them as Labour Party members."

Mr Gwynne said he deeply regretted his "badly misjudged comments" and apologised for any offence cause.

They certainly seem to have a thing about pensioners don’t they?

Pensioners and Jews top of his hit list?

They're all like this in parliament
Deeply cynical and obnoxious
Gwynne is a member of Labour Friends of Israel so as with Musk and his Nazi salute he may be defended

He has been utterly stupid, has to go, but it does amuse me seeing us all up in arms on here about his comments when the language we use on a daily basis on here is far worse.

They’re human beings like us and have opinions like us.

What he actually said is that he joked about some old bat dying off because she hates him and bothers him, when asked why everyone was banging on about Diane Abbott's historic speech said it was because it's Black History Month, and joked to a lad called Rosenberg who was defending Israel that he must be in Mossad.

He rightly should be sacked because he said those things in a Labour group chat, where he mistook his job for his friends and was unprofessional. I have some sympathy here because my old MP is in a group chat with a bunch of us from the old CLP who used to canvass round there. We ARE friends. We've been on the streets together, shared dinners and events, had debates and discussions while they were a "nobody" so to speak. But upon election they have to transition those relationships to understand that they're professionals now. So no matter who gets caught in these types of stings, I usually have that bit of compassion.

As you say, if someone were to lose their entire career for those messages then there would be about six people employed in this country and abroad.

Indeed.

I blame Blair. "No more local heroes".

Teachers,nurses,transport workers, local activists had the rugs taken from underneath them. Majority of MPs in labour are now lawyers/Blair foundation acolytes with no experience of real life struggles.

Let's see them cope on minimum wage with no perks.

It would be easy to dismiss this as afoul mouthed rant ;) but I think this highlights a big issue with British politics. Almost all MPs have had privileged backgrounds with little life experience, often going from private school, to university and straight into politics, some spend a handful of years practising law in the City. The number of MPs who have lived 'normal' lives is lower now than at any time since WWII. There are several pieces of research that show this is the case. Sorry, I cannot be bothered finding them and referencing the sources.

In addition to most MPs not being able to understand the challenges most people face, they appear to prioritise the interests of the rich and big business ahead of our own.

Prior to the most recent general election, I recall reading an article where over 20 prospective Labour MPs had been recruited by lobbying firms. All employed within a few months of the election. As an ex Labour Party member, I personally find this shameful.

The increasing gap between politicians and the people is a massive problem and needs addressing as a priority. There are some easy/quick wins. For example, regional citizens assemblies and Labour having election candidate lists made up those who were state school educated and did not attend university. I would also want all Labour to prevent all the party's MPs to be prevented from earning any additional income and other benefits from second jobs.
