The Burnley MP said he was a member of the WhatsApp chat that Mr Gwynne was sacked as a minister over and apologised for some of his own comments “which I deeply regret and would not make today”.
“Some of the comments made in that group were completely unacceptable, and I fully condemn them,” he wrote.
“I did not see every message, but I accept responsibility for not being more proactive in challenging what was said.
He added he will fully cooperate with an investigation launched by the Labour Party over the comments.
A Government source told the PA news agency: “Oliver Ryan’s remarks were unacceptable and deeply disappointing.
According to reports in the Mail on Sunday, Gwynne joked about an elderly voter, saying he hoped she would die.
The WhatsApp group, which included Labour councillors, party officials, and at least one other MP, also contained remarks mocking Diane Abbott’s historic achievement as the first Black MP to represent their party at Prime Minister’s Questions.
