MP Tulip Siddiq: Pivot Points does Politics


Listen Later

Today’s guest is MP, Tulip Siddiq - that’s right, we’ve gone political!

Charismatic, sharp and charming, Tulip talks to us about:

  • The pivots the Labour party have gone through over the last few years
  • Antisemitism within the Labour party
  • How she resigned her hard won front bench seat in protest of triggering Article 50
  • Why people told her she should stand for Bradford, rather than Hampstead and Kilburn (North London)

    Tulip Siddiq  has been in politics for 20 years, joining the Labour party at just 16 years old. She is the Labour Member of Parliament for Hampstead and Kilburn and Shadow Minister for Children and Early Years.

    Tulip grew up in her constituency and is a second generation Muslim Bangladeshi immigrant. Her grandfather was a founding father and the first president of Bangladesh. Whilst, her aunt is also the prime minister of Bangladesh (longest serving Bangladeshi prime minister).

    If you don’t know of Tulip hold on to your hat - she is charming, funny, and ever so… normal! She’s a woman of colour making a difference in her very white male world.
