Tulip Siddiq has resigned as Treasury minister due to allegations involving her aunt, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and potential conflicts of interest.
Despite being cleared of breaching the ministerial code, Ms Siddiq's involvement in her aunt's political movement in Bangladesh led to calls for her resignation.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer accepted Ms Siddiq's resignation with an acknowledgment of its difficulty, affirming that the door remains open for her in the future.
The UK Anti-Corruption Coalition expressed concerns over Ms Siddiq's responsibilities, arguing her ties could lead to conflicts of interest, regardless of any ethical findings.
