Tower Hamlets councillor campaigns for Bangladesh election while earning £20,000 from UK taxpayers

Tower Hamlets councillor Sabina Khan continues to earn £20,000 annually from taxpayers while campaigning for election in Bangladesh. Khan is seeking a seat in Bangladesh's national assembly, yet still holds her position as a scrutiny lead for resources in Tower Hamlets, a role requiring examination of council decisions. She is not running for re-election in London. UK law does not automatically disqualify councillors running for office abroad. Khan has missed some recent committee meetings, and other councillors have called for her resignation.
