Tulip Rizwana Siddiq FRSA (born 16 September 1982) is a British Bangladeshi politician who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Hampstead and Highgate, previously Hampstead and Kilburn, since 2015. She served as Economic Secretary to the Treasury and City Minister from 9 July 2024 until her resignation on 14 January 2025, following allegations of misconduct.
She was the Camden London Borough Councillor for Regent's Park from 2010 until 2014. She is a niece of the ousted former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina.
On 13 April 2025, Bangladesh issued an arrest warrant for Siddiq as part of investigations into corruption during Sheikh Hasina's premiership. In January 2025, Tulip Siddiq came under scrutiny over her links to the former Bangladeshi government led by her aunt, Sheikh Hasina, after the regime was deposed. According to a report by The Guardian, Siddiq, who has previously identified as British Bangladeshi, emphasized her British citizenship when questioned by UK authorities about her relationship to the Awami League and denied any wrongdoing. The report noted criticism of Siddiq for appearing to distance herself from her Bangladeshi heritage amid political pressure.
