Jones: Siddiq's family ties became distraction for govt
Darren Jones says Tulip Siddiq's resignation from the government can be seen as a "clear success" for Sir Keir Starmer, as it shows the prime minister's new independent process for investigating ministerial conduct "has worked".
The chief secretary to the Treasury adds Siddiq "was a good minister doing a great job", but that she accepted her wider family had become a "distraction" for the government.
Siddiq resigned as Treasury minister over an anti-corruption investigation into her wider family in Bangladesh.
