Tulip Siddiq MP Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate
"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."
My name is Tulip Siddiq and I am so proud to be the Member of Parliament for Hampstead and Highgate.
Since my first election to Parliament in 2015, I am proud to have been a truly local representative. One of the most notable cases I worked on was getting my constituent, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, home after she was unlawfully imprisoned in Iran for six years. I fought tirelessly alongside her husband, Richard, for her return. I have campaigned hard on issues I know are important to local families, including affordable childcare, climate action and renters’ rights.
I have always fought for local health services and led a successful campaign as MP to stop the closure of the children’s A&E unit at the Royal Free Hospital. I have helped 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.
After Labour formed a Government following the 2024 General Election, I had the privilege of being appointed Economic Secretary to the Treasury and City Minister. I know that our financial services industry will be key to restoring economic growth, so it is a great honour to serve in this role.
Before the recent General Election, I served as Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury (City Minister) from 2021, where I helped to develop of Labour’s policies for the City. I consistently held the Tories to account for their disastrous handling of the economy and the appalling cost-of-living crisis they inflicted on our country.
I also previously served as Shadow Children and Early Years Minister and in Parliament I have been a passionate campaigner for early years education, mental health support and flexible working. I also successfully fought to make pre-natal testing for mothers free on the NHS, and put forward laws to end the indefinite detention of migrants.
