Why has transport secretary Louise Haigh quit?

Why has transport secretary Louise Haigh quit? Louise Haigh has resigned as transport secretary after admitting pleading guilty to a criminal offence tied to her incorrectly telling police that a work mobile phone was stolen in 2013. She said in a letter to prime minister Keir Starmer on Friday morning that the incident was a “mistake”, but “whatever the facts of the matter, this issue will inevitably be a distraction from delivering on the work of this government”. #politics #ukpolitics #louisehaigh #uknews #trendingnews #breakingnews #uk #newsexplained #fyp #fypp
