Cameron: I won't take lectures from Miliband about low-paid workers

'I remember who got hurt in the crash - it wasn't the bankers', says Tory leader as he tries to pin blame for banking crisis on Labour

David Cameron has intensified the Tory assault on Ed Miliband by saying Labour has no right to portray itself as the champion of the low-paid after it wrecked people's lives in the crash.

In an impassioned and at times angry speech to a Tory rally in Bath, the prime minister told the Labour leader never to "dare lecture" the Conservatives about helping the poor after the Labour government had lavished knighthoods on disgraced bankers.
