The recent news has left many shocked as Louise Haigh has officially resigned from her position as Transport Secretary. This comes after she pleaded guilty to a criminal offence. Sources say that this incident came to light when Ms. Haigh joined the shadow cabinet and disclosed the information to Sir Keir Starmer.
It has been revealed that the offence took place in 2013, when Ms. Haigh falsely reported to the police that her work mobile phone had been stolen. However, she has now admitted that this was not the case and that it was a mistake on her part. The incident was brought to the attention of the public when Sky News and the Times newspaper reported on it on Thursday evening.
In a statement released last night, Ms. Haigh expressed her regret and apologized for her actions. She also acknowledged the distraction this could cause from the government's transport agenda and decided to step down from her role. Sir Keir Starmer, in response, thanked her for her contributions and efforts in delivering the government's transport plans.
In her resignation letter, Ms. Haigh mentioned that she is fully committed to the political project, but believes that her support would be better served from outside the government. She also assured that she will continue to work for the people of Sheffield Heeley, who she was elected to represent, and ensure that the rest of the government's agenda is carried out successfully.
Sir Keir Starmer once again expressed his gratitude towards Ms. Haigh for her dedication and hard work in delivering the government's transport agenda. He also mentioned that Sky News and the Times newspaper reported that Ms. Haigh had admitted to the offence in 2014, after the incident took place in 2013. Ms. Haigh clarified that she had realized her mistake sometime later and that she did not gain anything from it. The magistrates also gave her the lowest possible outcome for the offence.
