EXPOSED: Nana Akua RIPS Into ‘CORRUPT’ Tulip Siddiq BLASTING Keir Starmer – ‘God Help Us!’

Labour’s promise to restore “honesty and integrity” to government is under fire as Tulip Siddiq, Labour’s anti-corruption minister, finds herself at the center of a corruption scandal. Siddiq, MP for Hampstead and Kilburn, is facing mounting criticism for allegedly accepting a property linked to her aunt, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who has been accused of embezzling £3.9 billion during her time in office.

Siddiq reportedly accepted a two-bedroom flat near King’s Cross in 2004, which land registry documents show was not paid for. The property was allegedly gifted by Abdul Motiff, a developer with ties to her aunt’s government. The revelations come as Siddiq oversees a ministerial brief focusing on combating economic crime, money laundering, and illicit finance.

“Have you ever been gifted a flat by someone? I certainly haven’t,” said Nana Akua. “This stinks of privilege and dodgy dealings—how can someone tasked with fighting corruption have such murky links?”

Adding fuel to the fire, Siddiq also accepted tickets for two Cricket World Cup matches from a company linked to her aunt’s political party. Although she declared the tickets in the register of interests, critics argue the optics are damaging.

Defending Siddiq, Starmer stated:

“Tulip Siddiq has acted entirely properly by referring herself to the independent advisor on ministerial standards. That’s the process, and I have confidence in her.”

But Akua was scathing in her criticism of Starmer’s leadership:

“This Labour government claimed it would clean up politics, yet in just six months, it’s riddled with scandals. If this is integrity, God help us!”

Siddiq’s case is the latest in a series of controversies dogging Labour. Ilford South MP Jas Athwal, known as the Commons’ largest landlord, is under scrutiny for failing to license multiple properties he rents out—despite spearheading a licensing scheme himself. Tenants have reported living in mold-ridden, infested flats, while Athwal has also faced, and been cleared of, sexual harassment allegations.

Akua questioned Starmer’s apparent double standards:

“Why hasn’t Starmer acted on Athwal? If lawbreakers can’t be lawmakers, why is he still in his position? The hypocrisy is staggering.”

Labour’s mantra of “honesty and integrity” is being tested as critics argue the party is failing to uphold the standards it claims to champion. Akua noted:

“This isn’t about one or two bad apples—Labour is setting itself up to be worse than the Conservatives, and that’s saying something.”

With Labour’s reputation on the line, calls for accountability are growing. A Great British debate on whether Siddiq should be sacked revealed widespread public frustration, with many questioning whether Labour is capable of delivering the transparent governance it promised.

Rebecca Reid, a political commentator, defended Siddiq’s actions, arguing that her acceptance of the flat was a result of youthful naivety rather than malice. However, even she admitted:

“Labour painted itself into a corner with the ‘lawbreakers can’t be lawmakers’ slogan. Now, every misstep is being weaponized against them.”

As Labour struggles to contain the fallout, the scandals risk undermining public trust in the party’s ability to govern effectively. With Starmer’s leadership increasingly under scrutiny, one thing is clear: promises of integrity alone won’t be enough to restore faith in the government. For Nana Akua, the verdict is damning:

“Labour has had six months, and it’s been disaster after disaster. If this is the best they can do, we’re all in trouble.”
