I think it’s wrong to keep describing Louise Haigh MP as a convicted fraudster.
She committed a crime 13 years ago. The crime she committed, for which she received one of the lowest possible sentences - a conditional discharge, does not preclude her from doing the job she has been appointed to. She made a mistake and she should be allowed to move on from it.
Those in public life should be showing that those who have committed relatively minor crimes eventually have a route to a successful life without stigma.

This is a very real issue. WISH supported several women who really didn't understand the process and because their LD or MH was not glaring ly obvious it was not noticed.
