The Mail-on-Line has published further allegations over Tulip Siddiq's conduct today. This time over domestic issues. LINK
Tulip Siddiq represented three Brent wards (Brondesbury Park, Kilburn and Queen's Park) in the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency until the 2024 snap General Election. She now represents Hampstead and Highgate consisting of Camden wards plus Highgate ward in Haringey.

And so she should, but we know she won't as she's a Starmer loyalist for one, and she probably crossed the line long ago and now can't see it behind her.
The headline makes it sound as if she's no longer an MP, as in "Former Brent MP Tulip Siddiq"
Anti-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq was under pressure to quit last night after it emerged she had lied about receiving a London flat as a gift.
The Mail on Sunday has repeatedly asked Ms Siddiq if she was given the two-bedroom apartment, now worth £700,000, previously owned by a property developer connected to her Bangladeshi dictator aunt.
She has denied it was a gift, instead insisting that her parents had bought it for her. She also threatened the MoS with legal action.
Now, however, Labour sources have confirmed that the King's Cross flat was indeed given to her by the developer as an 'act of gratitude'.
Ms Siddiq, is under investigation in her native Bangladesh, where she and four family members are accused of embezzling £3.9 billion from a nuclear power plant.
Comment 14.01, I have amended the headline - the main point is that some people do not realise that she no longer represents anyone in Brent. This means we have no constituent right to call for her to resign or request a re-call ballot.
I don’t know about you, but I always forget what homes I’ve been given for a gift.
Except she was an MP for a number of years while hiding the gifts from public view. I think Brent residents should have a "retrospective" right to demand here resignation.
In any case it will be very surprising for Starmer and Labour to have been exposing Tory Scandals for years to try to cover this up and keep her in a job of ....exposing and tackling corruption. Above al the people of Bangladesh need their money back!
"A Labour insider yesterday told the Financial Times: 'Following financial support provided by Tulip's parents to an acquaintance during a challenging time in his life, he subsequently transferred a property he owned into Tulip's ownership as an act of gratitude for her parents' support.'" - how do we know that undue pressure wasn't put on this "acquaintance" to transfer over his flat? He might have been very vulnerable when he needed her parents "financial support"?
Let's think this through step by step. I steal a pot of money from a poor country - would I give it directly to my daughter so it would be easy to trace? Or would I give it to an "acquaintance", to muddy the trail, so that this "acquaintance" can hand it to my daughter instead in the hope that we are all stupid enough to believe the explanation?
Unlikely a vulnerable person, this related to the politics of Tulip’s aunt in Bangladesh.
