‘Labour right’ MP becomes transport secretary as Louise Haigh resigns

UNION leaders praised Louise Haigh today after she was replaced as transport secretary.

The Sheffield Heeley MP resigned after it emerged she pleaded guilty to a criminal offence related to incorrectly telling police that a work mobile phone was stolen in 2013.

It is understood the incident was disclosed to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer when she joined the shadow cabinet.

“As transport secretary she has continuously delivered for public transport, making life better for the travelling public and for transport workers.”
