Andrew John Gwynne (born 4 June 1974) is a British politician who served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Gorton and Denton, previously Denton and Reddish, from 2005 to 2026. A member of the Labour Party, he served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Prevention from 2024 to 2025, Shadow Minister without Portfolio from 2016 to 2017, Shadow Secretary of State for Communities from 2017 to 2020, and Labour Party Co-National Campaign Coordinator also from 2017 to 2020.
Gwynne was dismissed from his ministerial role and had his Labour membership suspended in February 2025 because of offensive messages he had written on a WhatsApp group chat with other Labour MPs. He stood down as an MP in January 2026 on health grounds.
