Louise Haigh mobile phone story

[tommers]

Can we not do this conspiracy nonsense about Starmer being behind her going?

Louise Haigh ‘told to quit by No 10 over possible breach of ministerial code’

Sources say UK transport secretary was advised by Keir Starmer’s chief of staff it would be best for her to resign

Looks like it was McSweeney as go-between (at least)

They're so weird.

The second sentence doesn't make sense. It says that investing £1b in bus services, and lowering costs for motorists, are ways in which she has made strides to take the rail system back into public ownership.

All best wishes. That could only be written by teuchter

That is quite funny, but for the millionth time, SHE DIDN'T GET DONE FOR PHONE THEFT.

You do exaggerate sometimes

Indeed, her undoing was for something far more serious...actually calling out 1 neoliberal enterprise for anti-worker practices. Can't have that in the Starmer party.

I thought we'd finally found some common ground Broggers, but you had to have that little dig at St Keir at the end

I've posted on here before about my late FiL who did such a thorough job of filching stationary when he left his LCC school in 1965 that we still have supplies 59 years later! Top work.

Bravo!

Sorry, the unbelievable bit of this is that she made a mistake? And not that she turned the phone on and that rang some alarm at the Metropolitan Police and they then arrested her? Like there was a crack team of detectives sat monitoring her work mobile phone? "Sarge! It's come back on! We're getting a signal!" "Yes! Get that team that tracks locations to track the location! We've finally got her!"

"Get me the Chief Constable. This is serious".

There should be a comma after bus services.

Labour's vetting process sounds like the Inquisition, but run by Alan Partridge.

Amateur! In America you can be a sex offender, fraudster and stir up an insurrection and get re-elected President!

How come Elon Musk isn't on Twitter insisting this is a sign of Britain's slide into dictatorship?

Ah but the tentacles of Aviva extend into the highest realms of power.

It’s more a statement of fact than a dig. She was a dead woman walking the minute she (rightly) highlighted the scandalous employment practices of P&O.

She’d also, I read, written to Starmer about Reeves cuts to non-protected departments.

Amazingly, weeks later an ancient event regarding two phones is leaked to the media.

Can't have been Starmer. He's in the Middle East looking for investment

The thing is she told him when she was appointed to the job apparently


It all feels really weird, maybe because we’re not used to someone just actually resigning at this point given the last 14 years

You do exaggerate sometimes

Billions of times.

I heard that too

Yes, but also this:
