Kids Company collapse is 'complicated', says founder

Kids Company founder, Camila Batmanghelidjh said that the reason behind the charity's collapse was "much more complicated than people think".

She insisted that allegations that sexual abuse complaints at the South London charity were not dealt with properly were "invalid" but said that she took responsibility for not making enough money for the charity to continue.

Criticising the government's record on child protection, she added: "Three quarters of their child protection departments that have been inspected have been declared unfit for purpose. I didn't run those, the government runs those."

Earlier at a Downing Street protest in support of Kids Company, the crowd went into a frenzy when Ms Batmanghelidjh arrived to show her support.

Supporters dashed across the road to hug and speak to her, shouting "we love you Camilla, we love you".
