In her resignation letter, published by the Sunday Times, the Canterbury MP lambasts Sir Keir Starmer for the staggering hypocrisy of accepting gifts worth tens of thousands of pounds while scrapping the winter fuel payment and keeping the two-child benefit cap.
"I cannot put into words how angry I and my colleagues are at your total lack of understanding about how you have made us all appear."
She added: "The sleaze, nepotism and apparent avarice are off the scale. I am so ashamed of what you and your inner circle have done to tarnish and humiliate our once proud party."
The prime minister has faced growing criticism after it initially emerged he had received more than 16,000 for work clothing and spectacles for him, and further donations for his wife, from Labour peer Waheed Alli.
