One of the biggest questions is why someone Siddiq’s ties was given the job of anti-corruption minister in the first place.

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury has said he would be happy to work again with Tulip Siddiq, who resigned as a minister yesterday, if the Prime Minister brought her back into Government. Darren Jones also rejected the idea that Ms Siddiq’s appointment showed a lack of judgment from Sir Keir Starmer.

Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq has resigned, after growing pressure about allegations of corruption linked to her aunt, the deposed prime minister of Bangladesh.
