Louise Haigh accuses ‘cabal of men’ around Keir Starmer of mistreating women in cabinet

According to The Guardian, former UK transport secretary Louise Haigh has accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer's inner circle of briefing against her following her twenty twenty-four resignation. She describes the behavior as sexist and unpleasant, claiming she was one of several female cabinet members subjected to such treatment. The alleged briefings, she says, were consistent and vicious. Haigh has since become a key orchestrator of the next political transition, backing former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham—who is expected to be confirmed as prime minister in the coming days.
