  1. “We” being the entirely fair and unbiased Daily Mail.

  2. If only the daily mail were so quick to expose Farage’s and Trump’s messages who they worship

  3. Has anyone seen this from another source.

    If true, is it usual to be sacked straight away, rather than suspended pending an investigation?

  5. When they announced stopping the winter fuel payments for pensioners, lots of people complained that it would lead to more deaths due to them being unable to put the heating on.

    It’s no wonder they have sacked him quickly as this will feed the narrative that labours desicions are based around helping their supporters and punishing the groups that generally vote conservative.

    It seems to be own goal after own goal.

  6. Hilarious. Not one single criticism of Gwynne in the comments so far. Just the usual ” oh it’s the Daily Mail so…..”
    The messages that he has sent are vile and the only option was to sack him.

  7. What’s wrong, Labour? I thought you were the champion of the people.

    The Conservatives might have been incompetent clowns but Labour were always the insidious measured masterminds who could keep the mask on and avoid saying the quiet bit out loud, but now they’re emboldened enough to do the opposite.

    Make promises you go back on the moment you get power and now wish death on constituents. Country ruined in 100 days. Bet everyone wishes they’d voted differently now.

  8. Goodness grief.

    Labour really are the pits. I can’t see them lasting till 2029 at this rate.

  9. It’s kind of nice to see an MP get sacked for saying stupid, shitty things.

    The tories would have promoted them. Reform will probably hire this guy.

  10. > ‘Geoffrey the Giraffe says don’t be nasty to the Jews,’ he posted. It’s not clear who he was referring to, but Geoffrey was the logo of the Toys R Us stores.

    This is a hell of a paragraph.

  11. The irony of the Daily Mail exposing RACISM and SEXISM while encapsulating RANDOM words isn’t lost on me

  12. It’s nice to see a government take action on inappropriate actions and behaviour of ministers. This looks trivial compared to what some Tory ministers got away with while in their jobs, no doubt they’ll all forget those examples when they do their media tours.

  13. At least he got sacked straight away. No one will remember that.

  14. Britain is one of the few countries where politicians have active and virulent contempt for their own people. Old, young, white, minority, male, female, they despise everyone who isn’t a member of the ruling class.

    Wishing death on a large demographic is abhorrent. Had this MP been a member of the public, they’d have been investigated for hate speech now.

    His comments about Diane Abbott and Rayner are hate speech.

  15. Does everyone remember when Starmer in his first days of Prime Minister say he’ll be a Prime Minister for al and try to convince people Labour are good. Ye no they are just as rotten and elitist as the Tories serving their donors, their supporters, their masters.

  16. The true face of every labour councillor/mp. etc. etc. etc.

  17. “Mr Gwynne wrote a suggested response: ‘Dear resident, F*** your bins. I’m re-elected and without your vote. Screw you. PS: Hopefully you’ll have croaked it by the all-outs.”

    What a lovely public representative.

    This is what politicians really think of us deep down, isn’t it? Just a silly irration. An annoyance.

  18. Gotta try to kill off the rest of the pensioners Covid didn’t get. Cant afford to pay their govt pensions! /s

  19. A person like that has no business in politics regardless of party.

  20. This is how they see old people – burdens upon the state.

  21. This is bad…but..when a something like this happens, Labour sack them right away.
    If it was a Conservative minister they would have made him do a half arsed apology and then let it lie. In 2014 Matt Hancock posted on social media that Labour was ‘full of queers’ and it didn’t affect his career one bit. And let’s not start on Boris. 

  22. As a staunchly left wing person that’s…probably fair?

    Yeh, the daily mail are nazi’s, but in this one specific case they seem to be reporting an actual story that actually happened (unheard of, I know) and whilst old boys voting against the interests of younger people because they know they won’t live to see the consequences of their choices might be annoying to me as “just some guy” I’d rather my politicians were above “wishing death on their political opponents”…..or even just *being competent enough to not get found out* frankly.

  23. So, I can expect an expose on Kemi Badenoch next right? Or Farage’s weird far right links?

    Or is it just more dunking on shit they don’t like for gullible idiots to swallow?

  24. Weird this sub… guy wishes death on pensioners, and somehow, people turn it on the daily mail…

    I mean, yeah, it’s a shit news source, but they aren’t the ones on trail here… completely disregarding what he’s said just because he stands for your party and is what is wrong with this country. We’re becoming more and more like the Americans every passing year. It’s about Labour vs. Tories opposed to wrong vs. right.

  25. Regardless of who reports it, why say it.
    All the grief that politicians get and he goes and give them the perfect ammunition to bring negative attention on him his party and a government already get slated at every chance, doesn’t help either the perception they aren’t out of touch with real people

  26. The fuck is that headline a d title? This sub really has gone to the dogs

  27. He just said the quiet part out loud they all think it they have set out to punish groups who dont vote for them

  28. Only fair the pensioners get a bit of nasty language after all the mad shite they’ve said about younger gens

  29. Tbf I would vote for him even if he say it out loud

  31. “If only Daily mail…” You guys are freaks. The Daily Mail sucks but clearly that’s not what’s at issue here? Are you so obsessed you’ll just ignore a labour minister wishing for death on his constituency if they don’t vote the way he wants just to randomly fire strays at the Daily Mail?

    No wonder reform is doing so well, you losers can’t do anything but bleat like sheep about the usual suspects when something like this happens.

  33. You know what, after hearing everything coming out of America, it’s kind of nice to live somewhere that sacks people for this shit at least.

  34. 1) Good, it’s nice having a government that actually fires people found to be abusive.

    2) F the Daily Mail for getting on its high horse for comments that wouldn’t look out of place in its headlines, articles or comments.

  35. There is no way that this stuff wasn’t already widely known. The Mail haven’t just suddenly come across it and developed a conscience. Same for the party.

    So. What’s changed?
