  • Ms Haigh became the youngest female Cabinet minister to ever be appointed when she was made Transport Secretary earlier this year.

Louise Haigh, now 36, has been appointed as the Transport Secretary in a significant reshuffle by Labour leader Keir Starmer. Originally from Sheffield, Haigh entered politics at a young age, becoming one of the youngest MPs when she was elected in 2015 at the age of 27. Her political journey began with her involvement in Young Labour, where she quickly rose through the ranks. Known for her sharp debating skills and commitment to public service, Haigh has served in various shadow cabinet roles, focusing on issues like justice, policing, and now transport. Her appointment reflects Labour's intent to address transport infrastructure and policy with fresh perspectives, aiming to tackle regional inequalities and improve public transport systems across the UK.
