Tulip Siddiq quits government
Tulip Siddiq MP outside 10 Downing Street, central London, may 13, 2024
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
UNDER-FIRE City Minister Tulip Siddiq quit the government today in a fresh blow to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s shaky administration.
Ms Siddiq has been at the centre of allegations of enjoying financial benefits from top members of the Awami League, which ruled Bangladesh until its overthrow last year.
She resigned despite being cleared of wrongdoing by the government’s adviser on ministerial standards Laurie Magnus to whom she had referred herself.
