The Chief Secretary to the Treasury has said he would be happy to work again with Tulip Siddiq, who resigned as a minister yesterday, if the Prime Minister brought her back into Government.
Darren Jones also rejected the idea that Ms Siddiq’s appointment showed a lack of judgment from Sir Keir Starmer.
Sir Keir accepted Ms Siddiq’s resignation as a Treasury minister “with sadness” but said he wanted “to be clear that the door remains open for you going forward”.
Ms Siddiq quit after the ministerial standards watchdog said it was “regrettable” she was “not more alert” to the reputational risk caused by her links to her aunt’s political movement in Bangladesh.
Julia Hartley-Brewer says “it was never an appropriate appointment to put her in” after Labour’s anti-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq resigned yesterday.
"This is clearly a job for Keir Starmer’s mate, and he didn’t want to sack his mate!"
