Tulip Siddiq has resigned as the anti-corruption minister after she was named in a number of corruption probes in Bangladesh involving her aunt, the country’s former prime minister.
In her resignation letter to Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour MP said she was standing down as her position had become a “distraction”, but thanked him for his confidence in her. She has been replaced in the Treasury by Emma Reynolds, the MP for Wycombe.
