Stride: Siddiq must go over corruption allegations
Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride has called for Prime Minister Starmer to sack Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq, arguing it is “impossible” for her to continue as anti-corruption minister while facing allegations linked to her aunt’s political movement in Bangladesh.
Stride said, “If you’re in a Ministerial position, you have to be in a position to actually conduct the responsibilities for which you’re responsible, and I just don’t think in her case that that is any longer possible.” Report by Covellm.
