Starmer Backs City Minister Tulip Siddiq Amid Property Scrutiny.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed confidence in City Minister Tulip Siddiq amid scrutiny over her connections to properties linked to allies of Bangladesh's former government. Siddiq, responsible for combating financial corruption, referred herself to the government standards watchdog over the issue. The premier's support comes after reports in the British press about Siddiq's receipt and use of properties connected to Bangladesh's ousted former prime minister, Sheikh Hasina. Siddiq will remain in the UK to assist with inquiries instead of traveling to China with Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves. [Extracted from the article]
