Labour MP faces standards probe over Commons spending rules
Tahir Ali, 53, faces a probe relating to 'office costs, travel and accommodation,' the Independent Parliament Standards Authority (Ipsa) said.
The watchdog is examining whether payments made to Mr Ali through the Commons staffing and business costs scheme, which sets rules on what MPs can and cannot make claims for, 'should not have been allowed'.
Mr Ali has served as MP for Birmingham Hall Green and Moseley, previously Birmingham Hall Green, since 2019.
An Ipsa spokesperson said: 'The Compliance Officer for Ipsa has opened an investigation to determine whether Mr Tahir Ali MP has breached spending rules under Ipsa's Scheme of MPs' Staffing and Business Costs.
'The investigation relates to the MP's spending on office costs, travel and accommodation.
'No further information will be published until the investigation has concluded.'
Mr Ali has been contacted for comment.

Israel warns ‘Tehran will burn' if Iran continues firing missiles
'If (Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,' he said. Iranian state television reported that air defence systems were firing in the cities of Khorramabad, Kermanshah and Tabriz, signalling the start of what could be a new Israeli attack. Footage from Tabriz showed black smoke rising from the city, according to a video posted by an affiliate of Iranian state TV. Israel's assault planes and drones smuggled into the country in advance, according to officials, to hit key facilities and kill senior generals and scientists. Iran's UN ambassador said 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded in the attacks. Tehran retaliated by launching waves of drones and ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions lit the night skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians, already rattled by 20 months of war in Gaza sparked by Hamas's October 2023 attack, to head to shelter for hours. Israel and Iran said their attacks would continue, raising the prospect of another protracted Middle East conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that his objective was to eliminate any Iranian threat to Israel, but he also urged Iranians to rise up against their leaders. Israel's strikes put further talks between the US and Iran over a nuclear accord into doubt before they were set to meet on Sunday in Oman. 'The US did a job that made the talks become meaningless,' Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei was quoted as saying. He added that Israel had passed all Tehran's red lines by committing a 'criminal act'. Rescuers work at the scene of an explosion in Tehran (Iranian Red Crescent Society/AP) However, he stopped short of saying the talks were cancelled. The Mizan news agency, run by Iran's judiciary, quoted him as saying: 'It is still not clear what we decide about Sunday's talks.' Mr Khamenei said in a recorded message on Friday: 'We will not allow them to escape safely from this great crime they committed.' Iran launched waves of missiles at Israel from late on Friday. Iranians awoke on Saturday to state television airing repeated clips of strikes on Israel. Israel's military said more drones were intercepted near the Dead Sea early on Saturday. A hospital in Tel Aviv treated seven people wounded in the second Iranian barrage, all but one for light injuries. Israel's Fire and Rescue Services said they were wounded when a projectile hit a building in the city. A spokesperson for Beilinson Hospital said one woman was killed. Hours later, an Iranian missile struck near homes in the central Israeli city of Rishon Lezion, killing two more people and wounding 19, according to Israel's paramedic service Magen David Adom. Israel's Fire and Rescue service said four homes were severely damaged. Meanwhile, the sound of explosions and Iranian air defence systems firing at targets echoed across central Tehran shortly after midnight on Saturday. Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported a fire at Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport. A video posted on X showed a column of smoke and flames rising from what the outlet said was the airport. The Israeli military said it carried out overnight strikes on dozens of targets including air defences 'in the area of Tehran'. Israel's paramedic services said 34 people were wounded in the barrage on the Tel Aviv area, including a woman who was critically injured after being trapped under rubble. The scene of an explosion in a residence compound in northern Tehran (Vahid Salemi/AP) US ground-based air defence systems in the region were helping to shoot down Iranian missiles, said a US official. The latest strikes raised concerns about all-out war between the countries and propelled the region into even greater upheaval. Countries in the region condemned Israel's attack, while leaders around the globe called for immediate de-escalation from both sides. Israel had long threatened such a strike, and successive American administrations sought to prevent it, fearing it would ignite a wider conflict across the Middle East and possibly be ineffective at destroying Iran's dispersed and hardened nuclear programme. But developments triggered by Hamas's October 7 2023 attack — plus the re-election of US President Donald Trump — created conditions that allowed Israel to follow through on its threats. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the US was informed in advance of the attack. On Thursday, Iran was censured by the UN's atomic watchdog for not complying with obligations meant to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon. The crossfire between Israel and Iran disrupted East-West travel through the Middle East, a key global aviation route, but Jordan's state-run Petra news agent said the country was reopening its air space to civilian aircraft on Saturday morning, signalling it believes there is no immediate danger. The Natanz nuclear facility was targeted (Maxar Technologies/AP) Among the key sites Israel attacked was Iran's main nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz, where black smoke could be seen rising into the air. It also appeared to strike a second, smaller nuclear enrichment facility in Fordo, about 60 miles south east of Tehran, according to an Iranian news outlet close to the government that reported hearing explosions nearby. Israel said it also struck a nuclear research facility in Isfahan and destroyed dozens of radar installations and surface-to-air missile launchers in western Iran. Iran confirmed the strike at Isfahan. UN nuclear chief Rafael Grossi told the Security Council that the above-ground section of the Natanz facility had been destroyed. The main centrifuge facility underground did not appear to have been hit, but the loss of power could have damaged the infrastructure there, he said. Mr Netanyahu said the attack was months in the making and had been planned for April before being postponed. Israel's Mossad spy agency positioned explosive drones and precision weapons inside Iran ahead of time, and used them to target Iranian air defences and missile launchers near Tehran, according to two security officials. Among those killed were five of Iran's military leaders: General Mohammad Bagheri, who oversaw the entire armed forces; General Hossein Salami, who led the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard; General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Guard's ballistic missile programme; General Gholamreza Mehrabi, deputy of intelligence for the armed forces' general staff; and General Mehdi Rabbani, the deputy of operations.

Cleverly: 'Tory government GRR block shows value of Union'
MSPs passed the Gender Recognition Reform Bill at the end of 2022 by 86 votes to 39 on a cross-party basis. The legislation was intended to speed up and simplify the process for a trans person to obtain a gender recognition certificate and change their legal sex. Under the current system, this takes at least two years, involves a medical diagnosis and is only available from the age of 18. The Holyrood Bill would have reduced the waiting time to six months, scrapped the need for medical diagnosis and lowered the age threshold to 16. After it was passed, the then Scottish Secretary, Alister Jack, used Section 35 to ultimately prevent the Bill from gaining Royal Assent. In his statement to the Commons explaining his reasons, he said the legislation would have a 'serious adverse impact' on, among other things, the operation of UK-wide equality law. Alister Jack (Image: PA) Sir James said: 'I do think that this issue has been a prime example of the importance of the Union, because this issue was clearly spiralling out of control—badly out of control—and down in Westminster, looking at the debate, looking at this information, which was becoming more and more surreal, had it not been that really close working relationship between Alister Jack, the Scottish Conservatives, and the number of people fighting to protect women's rights in Scotland, we in Westminster would not have been able to intervene to try and press the pause and think-about-it button—because that is all we did. 'It was not imposing a Westminster solution on Scotland. It was about pressing the pause button and saying, hang on a second, this just sounds weird to us. You should think again and think more carefully. 'That is what the relationship was. And because of that close working relationship, I think we are now on a road towards a more thoughtful, pragmatic and sustainable solution—one which works for trans people, works for women, whatever sexual orientation—works for gay men. 'I think we can get there, and I genuinely hope we can get there, but we have got to make sure that we do not lose sight of some of the fundamental reasons why a number of us got into politics in the first place, which was to protect the vulnerable, give voice to the voiceless, and make sure that people do not make foolish decisions in the heat of the moment. "I am glad that we in Westminster—Alister Jack in particular—played a small part in helping to inject a little bit of thoughtfulness in this conversation.'

Former Cabinet minister Penny Mordaunt becomes a dame
Penny Mordaunt said it was 'lovely to be appreciated in this way' and she was 'feeling very grateful'. Her profile was boosted by her sword-carrying role as Lord President of the Council during the 2023 coronation ceremony. Dressed in a custom-made teal outfit with matching cape, and headband with gold feather embroidery, as Lord President of the Council she was responsible for bearing the Sword of State and presenting the Jewelled Sword of Offering to the King, the first time the duty had been carried out by a woman. Dame Penny told the PA news agency: 'It is lovely to be appreciated in this way, and I'm very conscious that everything I have ever got done has been with the help and efforts of others. 'So I'm feeling very grateful on many counts today.' The former defence secretary and Commons leader was widely seen as a potential Tory leader until she lost her seat at last year's general election. In Westminster she had twice challenged for the Conservative leadership, losing to Liz Truss and then pulling out of the race against Rishi Sunak, but her hopes of making it third time lucky were dashed when she lost her Portsmouth North seat. But she still harbours hopes of staging a political comeback by returning to the Commons. Sir Mark Tami, who has served as a Labour whip since 2010, has also been awarded a knighthood. The MP for Alyn and Deeside told the PA news agency that it is a 'great, great honour'. 'When I was told I was shocked,' he said. 'I think most people probably are. It's a great great honour and I'm very very pleased.' Meanwhile, Newcastle MP Chi Onwurah becomes a dame, and told PA she was 'totally overwhelmed and surprised' when she found out. 'I grew up on a council estate in Newcastle in a one-parent family,' Dame Chi said. 'I never thought about being made a dame, as you can imagine.' She said she would be 'really proud' to accept it 'on behalf of my constituents'. Other Westminster figures given honours include Sir Philip Barton, the former top civil servant at the Foreign Office, who becomes a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George. He was heavily criticised for failing to return from holiday while Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in 2021, as MPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee said they had lost confidence in him and suggested he should consider his position. But he remained in post as permanent under-secretary at the Foreign Office until standing down in January this year. Former Conservative health minister Maria Caulfield becomes a CBE and said she was 'really surprised'. She told the PA news agency that she has returned to work as a nurse since losing her Lewes seat at last year's general election, and 'when I read the letter I couldn't have been more surprised'. She added: 'It's nearly a year since the general election so I'd kind of forgotten really about politics and that side of things.' She said that she was 'really lucky' to have been able to focus on women's health during her time as a minister and was now doing 'gynae cancer research […] doing the hands-on work rather than the policy work'. Among the changes brought in while Ms Caulfield was in office was the introduction of the baby-loss certificate and the HRT prescription prepayment certificate. 'It's really nice to see that's being recognised and the team that helped us achieve all of that are to thank for a lot of that hard work,' she said
