Last week, the Anti-Corruption minister in Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government, Tulip Siddiq, resigned. Starmer and Siddiq have been politically close for a while as they are Members of Parliament (MPs) in neighboring constituencies in North London. In a report by the BBC, Siddiq is the niece of Sheikh Hasina, who was ousted as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh in a series of protests led by students last year. Hasina was also alleged to have embezzled £3.9 billion in infrastructure spending from her government. Siddiq’s name came up in a wide-ranging corruption probe linked to several shell companies regarding her use of several properties in north London. As last week wore on, it became clear that her position was untenable; hence, she resigned.

Great report, Pete. One typo: I think you mean that Starmer and Siddiq have been politically “close”, not “closed”. Might want to change that. Also, you wouldn’t capitalize “protests”. Nice job. Love you, Mom
