Labour leader Ed Miliband seizes on remarks by Tory Education Secretary Gove said some families are 'unable to manage their finances' David Cameron challenged to distance himself from the comments Ed Miliband today condemned Education Secretary Michael Gove as an 'absolute disgrace' after suggesting families become who use food banks have only their own "decisions' to blame. In angry exchanges in the Commons, the Labour leader challenged David Cameron to distance himself from the remarks. And he challenged the Tory frontbench to trying living on £150-a-week. Clash: David Cameron was challenged in the Commons by Labour leader Ed Miliband over the remarks by Education Secretary Michael Gove Earlier this week Mr Gove argued that people who find themselves unable to buy essentials, including food and school uniforms have themselves to blame for being unable "to manage their finances." Mr Miliband said the remarks showed the Government to be out-of-touch with the lives of ordinary people. In an increasingly bitter exchange, Mr Miliband said: 'Here is the reality - you want to give maximum support to millionaires so you give them a tax cut. But it's a different story for those who go to food banks. 'And we know what this Government thinks of people who go to food banks because the Children's Secretary (Mr Gove) said that people who go to food banks only have themselves to blame.' As he faced a heckling from the government benches, Mr Miliband hit back: 'One of the Tory MPs is groaning, it just shows how out of touch this Conservative Party is.' He demanded to know if Mr Cameron agreed with Mr Gove but did not get an answer. Mr Miliband went on: 'The Prime Minister neither defended the Children's Secretary's comments, nor distanced himself from them. Let me just tell you, the Children's Secretary is an absolute disgrace.' Pointing at the Government frontbench, he added: 'Let's see any of them try to live on £150 a week and then we will see what happens. We have one million young people out of work, unemployment up in half the country, millions of people worse off while millionaires get a tax cut. For the few not the many, you are a two-nation Prime Minister. But Mr Cameron said he did not have to take any lectures from Labour on food banks, telling MPs their use increased 10 times under the last government. Ministers have previously argued that a surge in demand has in part been fuelled by jobcentre staff being allowed to refer the unemployed to food banks for help. On Monday Mr Gove was challenged over reports that one in four parents are having to borrow to pay for school uniforms and some food banks were distributing uniforms to struggling parents. Last night Miss Berger said she was "appalled" by Mr Gove's comments. The Labour Liverpool MP added: "People I have met are ashamed to have to turn to food banks.
