I thought #Haigh might have been fired for her statement about P&O but #Starmer could hardly have done that when he said the same thing in opposition. He wouldn't want to apoear to be a #hypocrite. He just bided his time until enough had lapsed so that people might not connect the two events and then, mysteriously The Times chanced upon the story. Very Francis Urquhart!

Unless, of course, there is more to it than we're being told. Can't rule that out.

Especially as she was one of the few non-evil people in the cabinet. Maybe Starmer wanted to get rid of her for that reason?

Louise Haigh's swift resignation prompts numerous questions

Keir Starmer is under scrutiny after the rapid departure of the transport secretary from his cabinet.

BBC News

Louise Haigh has quit as Transport Secretary after it was revealed that she'd been convicted for a fraud offence.

Wait, didn't she know about that before it was revealed?

Seems to me that politicians have no problem with breaking the law, it's just getting caught that's the problem.

Earlier on #TrevorPhillips, #Haigh said she would continue the £3 bus fare cap up until December 2025, where it will be reviewed.

As I type, the scrolling headline reads 'Louise Haigh: Govt to abolish £3 bus fare cap"

#Haigh explains on #TrevorPhillips that inheritance tax on farms is only applied on farms that are over £1million and even then the Levy is only at 50% compared to other inheritance taxation.

Have you ever seen a poor farmer?

Nor me.
