Lawmakers, Lawbreakers
When politicians get caught committing crimes, it's like watching a toddler deny eating chocolate with their entire face smeared in it. There they are, standing in front of a podium, sweat glistening under the lights, swearing they “had no idea” that embezzling millions and hiding it in a fake charity called “Save the Puppies Foundation” was wrong. Their excuse? “I was hacked,” “It’s a smear campaign,” or the classic, “This is all news to me,” as if their signature didn’t appear on every shady document like a kid writing their name on the wall with permanent marker. And yet, despite overwhelming evidence, they strut back into office like nothing happened—because in politics, apparently, crime pays... and also gets you a book deal and a Netflix docuseries.
Labour MP Tulip Siddiq Faces Arrest Warrant Over Corruption Charges in Bangladesh
- Sunday, 13 April 2025
An arrest warrant has been issued against Labour MP Tulip Siddiq by a court in Dhaka over corruption charges. She is accused of pressuring her aunt, Bangladesh's deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, to allocate three plots of land for her family members, all based in the UK, as part of an exclusive residential development. The warrant was issued after the Anti-Corruption Commission submitted a charge sheet against Siddiq, and she has been given until April 27th to appear before the court and seek bail; otherwise, a trial can start against her in absentia.
