Philp: Siddiq scandal shows Starmer is a crony PM

Chris Philp has accused Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of being "more interested in his cronies" than making appointments with integrity.

The shadow home secretary's comments come after Tulip Siddiq quit as a Treasury minister over links to her aunt's political movement in Bangladesh.

Philp adds the prime minister should have acted quicker and has called for the National Crime Agency to investigate "unanswered questions".
