Descripción:

Rosie Duffield has told the BBC that Sir Keir Starmer’s team cares "more about greed and power than making a difference" in her first broadcast interview since resigning from the Labour Party.

In her resignation letter, published by the Sunday Times, external, the Canterbury MP lambasts the prime minister for accepting gifts worth tens of thousands of pounds while scrapping the winter fuel payment and keeping the two-child benefit cap.

In an interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Duffield said Labour voters and MPs are being "exploited" and "taken for granted".

Duffield, who will now sit as an independent MP, said leaving the party was “not at all where I wanted to be".
