Tulip Siddiq Resigns Amid Corruption Probes Linked to Bangladesh

Tulip Siddiq, the U.K. Treasury minister and anti-corruption advocate, has resigned following mounting pressure and allegations related to her financial ties with ousted Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. As investigations into corruption claims intensify, Siddiq faced scrutiny over her connections to the former regime and property-related allegations that prompted her to refer herself to ethics watchdogs. Her resignation comes as Prime Minister Keir Starmer deals with calls for accountability within his government amid an ongoing corruption investigation that has captured public attention.
