Anti-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq was under pressure to quit last night after it emerged she had lied about receiving a London flat as a gift.
The Mail on Sunday has repeatedly asked Ms Siddiq if she was given the two-bedroom apartment, now worth £700,000, previously owned by a property developer connected to her Bangladeshi dictator aunt.
She has denied it was a gift, instead insisting that her parents had bought it for her. She also threatened the MoS with legal action.
