UNDER-FIRE City Minister Tulip Siddiq quit the government today in a fresh blow to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s shaky administration.

Ms Siddiq has been at the centre of allegations of enjoying financial benefits from top members of the Awami League, which ruled Bangladesh until its overthrow last year.

She resigned despite being cleared of wrongdoing by the government’s adviser on ministerial standards Laurie Magnus to whom she had referred herself.
