Keir Starmer has joined calls for Liz Truss to decline the allowance of up to 115,000 a year she will be entitled to as a former prime minister.

The Labour leader told ITV's Good Morning Britain on Friday: She should turn it down. I think that's the right thing to do. She's done 44 days in office, she's not really entitled to it, she should turn it down and not take it."
