Louise Haigh's supporters accuse Sir Keir Starmer's allies of orchestrating a political hit job, leading to her resignation from the Cabinet after admitting to a fraud offense a decade ago.
The Labour Left is in revolt over allegations that allies of Sir Keir Starmer orchestrated a ' political hit job ' against former Transport Secretary Louise Haigh , leading to her resignation. Ms Haigh resigned from the Cabinet after admitting to a fraud offense a decade ago, a situation that may overshadow the Prime Minister's relaunch of his Government this week.
The supporters of Ms Haigh claim that her dismissal was politically motivated, with evidence suggesting that information about her past conviction was shared with the Tory campaign during the General Election. These claims are vehemently denied by Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir's Chief of Staff
