Hampstead and Highgate.
Labour Party MP Tulip Siddiq holds the seat on 48.3% of the vote — a split-council geography across 2 councils.
3 Jun 2026
Corruption allegations have shadowed Tulip Siddiq since early 2026, when a Bangladeshi court deferred gazette publication in a fraud case naming her over a property scandal involving alleged abuse of power. Arrest warrants and an Interpol Red Notice have been sought in connection with the case -- serious allegations that have dominated coverage of her in the local press and generated the most negatively scored news about her performance. In Westminster, she has voted loyally with Labour on every occasion, including recent votes to tighten asylum support rules allowing ministers to suspend accommodation for asylum seekers found working illegally, and to back the government's reserve power over pension fund investment in the Pension Schemes Bill.
A 100% party-line voter across 414 of 515 recorded votes -- an 80% participation rate, broadly in line with the Commons average -- Siddiq is a reliable government loyalist with no rebel votes on record. Her stance profile shows strong alignment with progressive taxation (97%) and workers' rights (89%), but she scores low on parliamentary scrutiny (12%) and Lords oversight (0%), consistently voting to push government business through against Lords resistance. Her speeches lean heavily toward economic and fiscal policy, defence, and crime -- 48 contributions on economy and jobs alone suggest an economic focus rather than a specialist niche.
Two deviations from party norms stand out: she votes less often in line with pension protection than most Labour MPs (17% versus a party average of 43%), and more consistently with welfare reform (100% versus 79%). She holds no committee positions. The Bangladesh legal proceedings are ongoing and unresolved; no UK court findings are available, and the allegations have not been tested in a British jurisdiction.
