Louise Haigh pleaded guilty to lying that phone was stolen, paper shows
Briefly

Haigh's conviction document reveals she admitted to lying about her phone being stolen to fraudulently obtain a newer iPhone, causing loss to her insurance employer.
She reported her BlackBerry stolen after being mugged but later found it, leading to a fraud investigation and confirmation that she had dishonestly represented the phone's theft.
The case marks Haigh as the first significant resignation under Keir Starmer's government, as Downing Street advised her to step down after the fraud conviction.
Haigh's actions led to an investigation and a financial impact of £1,249 on Aviva, demonstrating the seriousness of her fraudulent activities and their consequences.
