The former Labour MP and government minister, Harriet (Baroness) Harman,
believes that Andrew Gwynne and other followers of his WhatsApp group ' Trigger Me Timbers', are not fit to hold
public office. The former Labour MP and minister said: "I think if you have racist thoughts and
you've got anti-Semitic beliefs, and if you've got contempt for the people
you're supposed to be representing, you shouldn't be an MP."
Eleven councillors in Tameside, Greater Manchester, have now been suspended by the Labour Party over the 'Trigger Me Timbers' scandal including the former Labour council leader Ged Cooney, who is alleged to have passed information to the press. Gwynne's wife Alison, who is a Tameside Councillor, was also suspended by the Labour Party.

When you read some of the contents of the WhatsApp group, they are absolutely infantile. One can accept a critical evaluation of anything, but childish insults directed at others, without any qualification or intellectual dissection of someone's position is embarrassing. The likes of Gwynne are those cited by Starmer as high quality candidates.
