Transport Secretary Louise Haigh is under scrutiny following the revelation of a fraud conviction involving a false report of a stolen phone. Her position is seen as 'untenable', leading to calls for her resignation.
A Labour minister, Louise Haigh , who serves as the Transport Secretary , is under significant pressure following the revelation of a fraud conviction from 2014, where she falsely reported her mobile phone had been stolen. Her position is deemed 'untenable', leading to calls for Keir Starmer to explain why she was given a significant role despite the conviction. The incident led to her losing her job at Aviva, where she was working as a public policy manager.
Haigh admitted it was a 'genuine mistake', but questions have been raised about her honesty and the judgment of Keir Starmer
