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

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.

It has emerged that Ms Siddiq has lived in two homes owned by figures associated with the Awami League and currently rents a third one. She strongly denies any wrongdoing and her allies suggest the charges have been trumped up by her aunt’s political enemies.

Tulip Siddiq has denied any wrongdoing after being named in a corruption probe into her aunt, former Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
