Can I clarify which member of the government thought they had their phone pinched?
Louise Haigh - she was mugged 10 years ago and amongst items reported stolen was her mobile phone - subsequently she found it hadn't been stolen (genuine mistake or deliberately?) - and started using it without reporting it and was subsequently charged with fraud.
To me wrong but probably no worse than exaggerating an insurance claim - to be honest after her P&O gaff and her more left leaning I think Starmer was happy to use this excuse even though she had already declared this event to him years ago
Overall not a huge story but at least quick action
