Starmer to decide on action against Tulip Siddiq following investigation results

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to make a decision on City Minister Tulip Siddiq after an investigation into the allegations against her is completed. 

This was revealed by Cabinet Minister Peter Kyle, according to The Guardian.

During an interview with Sky News on Sunday, Peter Kyle mentioned, "Prime Minister Keir Starmer will take action against Tulip Siddiq based on the findings of the independent investigation."

Kyle also praised Tulip’s move to call for an official parliamentary investigation into the allegations. 

He said, "I think Tulip has done the right thing. She has asked for an investigation into the claims against her, and that process must continue. As you know, Keir Starmer will certainly listen to the authorities once the investigation is done."

On the same day, Prime Minister Starmer backed Tulip, saying she had "acted completely right" and expressed that he still has "confidence" in her.

Meanwhile, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticized Prime Minister Starmer, accusing him of appointing his close friend to an anti-corruption role, despite Tulip Siddiq facing accusations herself. 

Badenoch publicly called for Tulip to be removed from her position, posting on social media, "Now is the time for Keir Starmer to remove Tulip Siddiq from her role."

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride has also joined the calls for Tulip’s resignation, stating, "Tulip holds the role of anti-corruption minister, but with such serious accusations against her, it would be difficult for her to carry out her duties properly. She should step down, and the Prime Minister must treat this matter seriously."

Tulip Siddiq, the daughter of Sheikh Rehana and niece of Bangladesh‍‍`s former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has been accused of receiving several apartments from individuals connected to the Awami League during her aunt‍‍`s time in office.

However, Tulip has firmly denied the claims. 

She has even asked for an investigation into the accusations herself, writing to the UK’s Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards, Laurie Magnus, last Monday. In her letter, Tulip maintained that she has "done nothing wrong."
