Tulip for Prime Minister

Posted by Ray Schaufeld on Fri, 03 Feb 2017

Tulip Siddiq is one of our best Labour MPs. She recently voted against Brexit, and always follows the wishes of her constituency. She has the hard job of filling Glenda Jackson's boots in Hampstead and Kilburn, England's most marginal constituency where she won her seat in Westminster by 44 votes. As well as being little and cute and very sharp witted and switched on, Tulip is from a family that has lived politics the hard way. Her grandfather was the first Prime Minister of Bangladesh. He did a good job until he was assassinated together with his three sons.

I hope her courage is rewarded, but in these difficult times, I doubt it.

She's 34, she's pretty straight on caring for the constituents, she's smart with local, national and global soundbites - very much one to watch. She also had a personal reason for entering English politics. When she was growing up her father had a stroke and was unable to speak for 5 years . She saw him getting excellent help without having to pay and wants to preserve the National Health.
