  • Media reports have raised questions about a number of properties connected to Labour MP Tulip Siddiq and her family.

Kemi Badenoch, the Business Secretary, has urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to dismiss Treasury minister Bim Afolami following allegations that Afolami failed to declare his ownership of a property in his constituency, which he rents out. The controversy stems from Afolami's omission of this property from the register of members' interests, despite it being a potential conflict of interest. Badenoch, who has been vocal about maintaining high ethical standards within the government, believes that Afolami's oversight, whether intentional or not, undermines public trust in politicians. This call for dismissal comes at a time when the Conservative Party is already facing scrutiny over various ethical lapses, intensifying the pressure on Sunak to act decisively to restore integrity within his administration.
