Treasury Minister Tulip Siddiq has issued an apology after failing to declare income from a London rental property for over a year, in violation of MP rules. The Hampstead and Highgate MP had 28 days to register the rental income but did not comply within the required timeframe. The breach of parliamentary standards may lead to an investigation by the Standards Commissioner. The incident has drawn criticism from various quarters, including mentions of Chris Bryant and Jess Phillips, with calls for Siddiq to resign and questions about the response from Labour leader Keir Starmer.
