Tulip Siddiq, who is serving as the UK’s economic secretary to the Treasury and its city minister, is under pressure to resign after revelations that she lied about receiving a £700,000 flat in London as a gift. Instead, Tulip had insisted that her parents purchased the flat for her reports bdnews24.com. According to the MoS, Labour sources have now confirmed that the two-bedroom flat near King's Cross was indeed given to her by the developer as an "act of gratitude”. Tulip reportedly declined to comment, but a source close to her told the MoS: “Tulip's previous understanding of how she gained ownership of the property has changed. Tulip has rented out the flat since at least 2013, declaring rental income while serving as a Labour councillor in Camden, North London.
