Dispatch
Apr 2026

Won by Lab in its first election in 2024. Covers Camden and Haringey. Population 110,980, notably young (median age 36 vs 41 nationally), highly educated (66% degree-holders). Recorded crime is 69% above the national average. Median income £45K (above average), 8,105 businesses.

Corruption allegations dominating her recent news coverage make Tulip Siddiq one of the more scrutinised Labour MPs right now. A Bangladeshi court deferred publication of gazette notices in a fraud case involving allegations of a property scam -- the so-called "Gulshan flat" case -- in which arrest warrants and an Interpol Red Notice have been sought against her. These are allegations from a foreign jurisdiction and remain unproven, but they represent the most significant cloud over her tenure since she resigned as Economic Secretary to the Treasury in January 2025. In parliament, her recent votes have been entirely in line with the government, supporting the Commons in overriding multiple House of Lords amendments to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, the Crime and Policing Bill, and the Pension Schemes Bill.

At a 80% participation rate -- broadly in line with the Commons average -- and a perfect 100% party-line voting record, Siddiq is a loyal, moderately active backbencher. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation and workers' rights, but notably low scores on parliamentary scrutiny (12%) and Lords scrutiny (0%), meaning she consistently backs the government's position against upper-chamber pushback. She deviates from her Labour colleagues most sharply on pension protection (0% versus the party's 35%), voting to retain ministers' power to direct pension fund investments. Her 174 parliamentary contributions span economy, fiscal policy, and defence.
