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