Transport Secretary Louise Haigh has resigned over a nearly decade-old phone mishap. In 2013, she reported her work phone stolen, only to find it later at home. Instead of promptly correcting the error, legal proceedings ensued, and Haigh pleaded guilty in 2014, receiving a conditional discharge. While she insists it was an honest mistake, critics have used the incident to question her suitability for high office. Haigh’s resignation follows political turbulence, including controversies over transport policies. Despite the farcical circumstances, she exited gracefully, highlighting her achievements and vowing to continue serving. The scandal underscores the surreal nature of modern politics.
