The second deputy of the Labor Party of the Parliamentary Party was suspended on joint offensive comments on the WhatsApp group, where Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer is trying to draw a line on the case.

Oliver Ryan, 29 -year -old deputy in Burnley, joined Andrew Join, former Minister of Health, in his comment after an official investigation into WhatsApp messages.

Ryan obtained the news at a meeting on Monday afternoon with Prime Minister Sir Alan Campbell, according to the people who reviewed the discussion.

A spokesman for the Labor Party said: “Once the attention of this WhatsApp group was drawn, a comprehensive investigation was launched immediately, and this process continues in line with the rules and procedures of the Labor Party,” said Labor Party spokesman.

“Quick measures will always be taken as individuals are found to violate the expected high standards of them as members of the Labor Party.”

Ryan said on Sunday that the comments he made in the WhatsApp group “were completely unacceptable.”

Ryan said that he regretted “not talking at that time” about the joint comments on the group, as Joine made a series of degrading data about components and colleagues.
