That picture with her Aunt and Putin😱.

1; years in the waiting and they screw up again!

It’s not great that ANY MP should be corrupt and I hope Tulip is rightly penalised if she is guilty.

We, as voters, deserve better.

There are sadly corrupt people and MPs across the entire political spectrum.

Shame it has to be used in this context to yet again bash the Labour Party.

She was not found to have broken any rules but when a Minister becomes the story then resignation is the best step.

Why?

Agree Barleyfields but should add Phillipson to the list.

I don’t think Starmer could’ve sacked her? Pending investigation? But he ought to have suspended her I think.

Tulip - anti-corruption. 😂

Starmer used to berate the Tories for not sacking people but he's no great shakes at it himself.

It was clear her position was untenable.

Barleyfields Tue 14-Jan-25 16:35:18

Excellent. Why didn’t Starmer sack her when all this came to light though?

Yes, Reeves next would be great, closely followed by Rayner and Lammy.

Good. Reeves next 🤞🤞

She had no choice really.

Good.
