Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch clash after Tulip Siddiq's resignation and inflation fall - PM faces questions over Tulip Siddiq’s resignation as Treasury minister

The Prime Minister seems to be on a different planet to ordinary Britons and Labour's latest scandal is stark proof of this fact.

This is a tale of two ex-ministers: the first ministerial casualties of Sir Keir Starmer's government, after just six months in power. Spot the difference. Louise Haigh, the crimson-haired left-wing former transport secretary, was thrown under the bus within hours of Sky News revealing a mobile phone fraud.

Sir Keir Starmer is being called to sack anti-corruption minister, Tulip Siddiq, after she was named in an investigation which claims members of her family embezzled just under four billion pounds from infrastructure spending in Bangladesh. So, what is Tulip Siddiq accused of and what has the prime minister said about the scandal?

Sir Keir Starmer faced fresh calls from the Tories on Saturday to sack Ms Siddiq as a minister, as Bangladesh’s leader Muhammad Yunus called for an investigation into the properties to determine whether they were acquired through “plain robbery”.

Science Secretary Peter Kyle said Ms Siddiq has ‘done exactly the right thing’ in referring herself to the Parliamentary watchdog.

Michael Saunders, a former member of the BoE's monetary policy committee which sets interest rates, said the latest inflation figure would be "some help" in trying to ease some of the worries over the UK economy - more on that in our next post.
