Communities Secretary Hazel Blears has quit the cabinet, after coming under fire over her expenses claims.

She repaid £13,000, following allegations she avoided paying capital gains tax on a property sale.

The Salford MP denied doing anything wrong but Mr Brown described her claims as "totally unacceptable".

Constituents in Salford have reacted to her resignation.
