What was said in the Labour WhatsApp group? Diane Abbott calls for MPs to quit - Diane Abbott has called for everyone involved in the racist WhatsApp group to “step down from whatever position they ha

Ryan was the second MP to apologise after making “unacceptable and deeply disappointing” comments in a WhatsApp group called 'Trigger Me Timbers', in which Ryan mocked another Labour MP over his sexuality. The group is now being investigated by Labour.

Diane Abbott has called for all members of a Labour WhatsApp group which contained racist remarks about her as well as sexist and homophobic comments to step down. A second MP lost the Labour whip over his membership of the group after Andrew Gwynne was sacked following messages he sent to the chat.

A second Labour MP has apologised for comments made in a WhatsApp chat, after Andrew Gwynne was sacked as a minister over messages he sent to the same group. Burnley MP Oliver Ryan said in a statement that comments he made in the group "were completely unacceptable" and he regretted "not speaking out at the time".

The Labour Party ignored repeated warnings about Andrew Gwynne’s “vile” WhatsApp comments months before they were made public, The Telegraph can reveal. A former Labour council leader said he complained about the MP’s messages to a party official several times in the last year, but his concerns were ignored.

The MP for Burnley said he "deeply regrets" comments he made in a WhatsApp group created by Andrew Gwynne - who was sacked as a health minister over the weekend.
