Labour investigates WhatsApp group messages sent by Andrew Gwynne and Oliver Ryan, leading to sanctions against Ryan after offensive messages surface. The party was warned about the vile content of the group over a year ago, according to a former councillor.

The investigation into the WhatsApp group, which includes several Labour MPs, has exposed derogatory and disrespectful messages that have shocked many within the party. Andrew Gwynne, one of the MPs involved, is being urged to explain his role in the group and apologize for any inappropriate messages he may have sent.

Oliver Ryan, another Labour MP, is facing sanctions for his participation in the group and the offensive messages he sent. The party has stated that such behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

This scandal has raised questions about the culture within the Labour party and the conduct of its members. Party officials are under pressure to address the issue and take appropriate action to ensure that this type of behavior does not happen again. Voters and party supporters are calling for transparency and accountability to restore trust in the party.
