"From my campaign to free Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, to my work to improve access to childcare and flexible working – I am proud to have been a truly local representative."
Tulip Siddiq is the Labour Member of Parliament for Hampstead and Highgate and has been an MP continually since 7 May 2015.
As a local MP, Tulip has campaigned hard on issues that are important to local families including affordable childcare, climate action and renters’ rights.
She has always fought for local health services and led a campaign to stop the closure of the children’s A&E unit at the Royal Free Hospital.
Tulip is a passionate champion for early years education, mental health support and flexible working. She successfully fought to make pre-natal testing for mothers free on the NHS and put forward laws to end the indefinite detention of migrants.
She has supported thousands of people with casework, raising their problems with relevant authorities to get residents the support they need with housing, social security, crime and other issues.
Most notably, she helped get her constituent, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, home after she was unlawfully imprisoned in Iran for six years. Tulip fought tirelessly alongside her husband, Richard, for her return.
Tulip has been appointed to a number of ministerial positions. She served as the Shadow Children and Early Years Minister, Shadow City Minister and the government’s Economic Secretary to the Treasury where she oversaw the role of the financial service industry in restoring economic growth.
