Haigh Slams “Sexist” No10 Culture In Attack on Starmer’s Male Heavy Team

Louise Haigh – convicted fraudster and former transport secretary – popped up on Newsnight last night to complain about the “misogynistic” and “sexist” culture in Downing Street, lamenting that “male advisers” are targeting her “female colleagues” with negative briefings. She moaned to presenter Victoria Derbyshire:

“I’m really fed up of opening the papers and reading briefing against my female former colleagues and I was really angry at the weekend to see the response to the electoral defeat that we had suffered at the hands of Reform to be that we should sack two female northern cabinet ministers… I only ever seem to read briefing against my female former colleagues.”
