Badenoch: PM owes Commons explanation over Haigh appointment
Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch says Sir Keir Starmer "owes the House an explanation", as to why Louise Haigh was appointed as transport secretary.
The prime minister replied, "while she's obsessing with Westminster issues, we're getting on with fixing the mess and fixing the foundations".
Haigh resigned from the cabinet last week after it emerged she was found guilty of fraud a decade ago.

Senior Tory MP Sir David Davis has said that "new medical evidence" analysed by a medical expert panel could provide a "completely alternative explanation" for the death of seven babies. This comes as retired medic Dr Shoo Lee, who co-authored a 1989 academic paper on air embolism in babies – which featured prominently in Lucy Letby’s 10-month trial, chaired a panel of 14 experts who compiled an “impartial evidence-based report”, which casts doubt on some of the medical evidence used in the trial.
