Up until yesterday morning, The Right Honourable Louise Haigh MP was Transport Secretary in Keir Starmer's abominably awful Government. Now, she is no more but the circumstances of both her appointment and departure are shrouded in mystery.
Some 10 years ago, Louise was accused in a criminal court case over a mobile phone that she alleged had been stolen during a mugging. It turned out that the phone had not been stolen at all and Louise ended up charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice by lying to the Police. Nowadays, Louise maintains that she was Not Guilty all along and that she pled Guilty to the charge only on the advice of her solicitor.
Nonsense, of course. But if, indeed, it is the case that Ms Haigh pled Guilty to a criminal act that she did not commit, then she is guilty of an even more serious case of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
There are many questions for both Louise and Keir Starmer to answer. With Cabinet colleagues like Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Angela Rayner and Louise Haigh about the place, Keir Starmer has been guilty of quite extraordinary misjudgement making him utterly unfit to be Prime Minister on this score alone.
They must think that we sailed across The Minch yesterday on a raft.
