During Prime Minister's Questions, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch pressed for clarity regarding why Sir Keir Starmer appointed Louise Haigh, a convicted fraudster, as the transport secretary, questioning his judgment and Haigh's swift resignation.
Sir Keir Starmer emphasized that Louise Haigh was right to resign when new information emerged about her past fraud conviction, contrasting her actions with those of previous Conservative leaders.
Badenoch underscored the importance of leadership integrity, stating, 'The country needs conviction politicians not politicians with convictions,' implying that past criminal actions should disqualify politicians from office.
While debating, Starmer reminded Badenoch that her predecessors, including Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, also had infractions, albeit not classified as criminal convictions, raising questions about her position.
