What kind of moron appointed this scumbitch… Transport Secretary Louise Haigh resigns after criminal conviction revealed In a letter to Keir Starmer, Ms Haigh said she was ‘sorry to leave’ but the issue would ‘inevitably be a distraction’ for the government Louise Haigh has resigned as Transport Secretary after she admitted pleading guilty to misleading the police a decade ago. Ms Haigh appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court in 2014, six months before her election as an MP, after making a false report to officers that her mobile phone had been stolen. She said she was “mugged while on a night out” in 2013 and gave police a list of items she believed had been taken including a work mobile phone, Sky News reported. Ms Haigh told the news channel she later found that the phone had not been lost, and was called in for questioning by the police. In a letter to Sir Keir Starmer released on Friday morning, Ms Haigh said she was “sorry to leave under these circumstances” but was best placed to support him “from outside government”.
