  • Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has admitted pleading guilty to a criminal offence relating to a police investigation over a mobile phone she claimed was stolen. She has admitted that, a decade ago, she told police she had lost her work mobile phone in a mugging, but later found it had not been taken.

The article from AOL discusses the resignation of Louise Haigh, the UK's Transport Secretary, who stepped down citing personal reasons and the intense pressure of the role. Haigh, who had been in the position for just over a year, was known for her efforts to reform the transport sector, particularly focusing on improving rail services and addressing environmental concerns. Her departure comes at a critical time as the government is dealing with ongoing issues related to transport infrastructure and policy.

The resignation has sparked discussions about the challenges of high-level political positions and the impact on personal well-being.
