  • Insiders believe Left-wing MP had a target on her back since 'going rogue' with unauthorised pay deal for train drivers

The article from The Telegraph discusses an internal Labour Party conflict where insiders are reportedly attempting to depose Louise Haigh, the Shadow Transport Secretary. Despite her rising popularity and effective handling of transport policy, some party members are concerned about her growing influence and potential to challenge the leadership. These insiders are allegedly spreading rumors and undermining her work, aiming to replace her with someone more aligned with the current leadership's vision. The article highlights the factionalism within Labour, with Haigh's allies defending her competence and loyalty, while critics argue her policies might not align with the party's broader economic strategy. This internal strife comes at a critical time as Labour prepares for upcoming elections, potentially affecting the party's unity and public image.
