Jones: Siddiq's family ties became distraction for govt
Darren Jones says Tulip Siddiq's resignation from the government can be seen as a "clear success" for Sir Keir Starmer, as it shows the prime minister's new independent process for investigating ministerial conduct "has worked".
The chief secretary to the Treasury adds Siddiq "was a good minister doing a great job", but that she accepted her wider family had become a "distraction" for the government.
Siddiq resigned as Treasury minister over an anti-corruption investigation into her wider family in Bangladesh.

Cabinet minister Darren Jones says he has āevery confidenceā that Lord Peter Mandelson's appointment as UK ambassador to the US will be approved by Donald Trump's team. There were reports in a number of newspapers on Sunday that the Trump administration could be considering not granting approval to Lord Mandelson's new position. The chief secretary to the Treasury also distances the government from comments made by Sir Sadiq Khan where the Mayor of London warned over 'resurgent fascism' ahead of Trumpās inauguration.

The chief secretary to the Treasury has hailed an unexpected dip in inflation, but admits that the cost of living "is still a pressure for families across the country and there's more work to do". Darren Jones adds the latest Office for National Statistics figures, "shows that the prime minister's plan for change is working". Inflation has fallen to 2.5% in December from 2.6% in November, which will come as a relief to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who has faced criticism given rising government borrowing costs and a slump in the value of the pound. The latest figures could open the door for an interest rate cut next month. Report by Brooksl. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn

A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death. The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".

Jaysley Beck's mother has accused the British Army of covering up the sexual assault her late daughter suffered in 2021. The body of Leighann McCready's 19-year-old daughter was found in a locker room at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. An inquest has found the Army's handling of the complaint played "more than a minimal contributory part in her death". McCready said, "it's been made clear through the findings that the Army have failed our daughter". Report by Brooksl.
