Sir Keir Starmer has come under scrutiny following the resignation of Louise Haigh as transport secretary after details of her past fraud conviction emerged. During parliamentary questions, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticized Starmer for appointing Haigh, describing her as a ‘convicted fraudster.’ Starmer deflected inquiries about the specifics of the new information that prompted her resignation, stating he would not disclose private details, while also referencing the legal issues faced by former Conservative leaders. Haigh’s resignation marks the first since Labour took office.
