Who is Tulip Siddiq ? Born into a politically prominent Bangladeshi family, she is the daughter of Sheikh Rehana and the niece of Bangladesh's former prime minister Sheikh Hasina. She faced criticism for her perceived closeness to her aunt’s authoritarian regime in Bangladesh. She made headlines in 2019 for attending Parliament in a wheelchair two days before giving birth, casting a crucial vote on Brexit. Following that, she became the first MP to vote by proxy under new rules.
