Overview
Tulip Siddiq resigned as the UK's anti-corruption minister after facing scrutiny over links to her aunt, Sheikh Hasina, amid an investigation into alleged corruption in Bangladesh. Siddiq denied wrongdoing but felt her position became a distraction for government efforts. Her resignation marks a setback for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who appointed Emma Reynolds as her successor. A government standards advisor found no breach of ministerial code but noted potential reputational risks tied to Siddiq's familial connections. The investigation involves significant allegations of financial improprieties related to infrastructure projects in Bangladesh.
