LONDON, United Kingdom – Britain’s transport minister Louise Haigh has resigned after pleading guilty to an offense in connection with misleading police over a work mobile phone she said was stolen in 2013, in another blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. In her resignation letter shared by Starmer’s office early on Friday, Haigh said she was standing down as the issue “will inevitably be a distraction from delivering on the work of this government and the policies to which we are committed”.
Starmer thanked Haigh for her work and for all she had done “to deliver this government’s ambitious transport agenda”.
