Ed Miliband mocks Myleene Klass after clashing over Labour plans Ed Miliband quizzed by Myleene Klass over Labour's mansion tax plan Party leader looked lost and bewildered as the singer tore strips off him Labour wants to impose a levy on homes worth more than £2m But Klass told him: 'You may as well just tax me on this glass of water' Viewers said she was "doing a Paxman" and "wiping the floor" with Miliband Labour's Rachel Reeves slams singer and says 'what planet is she on?' Mock JustGiving page created to pay the singer's mansion tax bill Labour leader turns to Kim Kardashian to improve his image in photos By Matt Chorley, Political Editor for MailOnline and John Stevens for the Daily Mail Ed Miliband today tried to laugh off his TV row with singer Myleene Klass, insisting the NHS needs a mansion tax 'Pure and Simple'. The Labour's reference to Hear'Say's biggest hit song was an attempt to draw a line under his humiliating dressing down from Miss Klass over Labour plans to target the wealthy if they win the next election. The party leader looked lost and bewildered as the former Hear'Say singer tore strips out of his pledge to impose a tax on homes worth more than £2million. Myleene Klass, pictured today on the Southbank in London as she was filming a Littlewoods advert, quizzed Labour leader Ed Miliband over the party's mansion tax plan Myleene Klass was seen out in London today after clashing with Labour leader Ed Miliband last night over his plans for a tax on properties worth more than £2 million Mr Miliband was left humiliated last night after he was unceremoniously taken to task by Miss Klass over Labour's proposed mansion tax In a reference to the Hear'Say song, Mr Miliband said the NHS needs a mansion tax 'Pure and Simple' Mr Miliband took to Twitter himself today, writing: 'Here's why our NHS needs a mansion tax. It's Pure and Simple.' He then linked to a page on the Labour party website. Pure and Simple became Britain's fastest-selling debut single of all time when it was released in 2001. In his 500-word statement, Mr Miliband set out 'Six things you need to know' about Labour's mansion tax, insisting it will 'protect those who are asset-rich but cash-poor' and will 'will raise around £1.2 billion'. You may as well just tax me on this glass of water. You can't just point at things and tax them Myleene Klass to Ed Miliband Mr Milband argued that the money was needed to boost NHS coffers, but struggled to persuade Miss Klass when the pair appeared together on ITV's The Agenda last night. Miss Klass Mr Miliband: "For me, it's so disturbing - the name in its own right: "mansion tax." But Labour's shadow work and pensions secretary Rachel Reeves slammed the singer's claim that £2million would only get you a garage in the capital. She told LBC radio: "Look the mansion tax and what she said on the mansion tax - that you can only get a garage in London for £2million - that is absolutely wrong. My family have lived in South London for all of my life and for generations and you can certainly get more than a garage for £2million. I would say, what planet is she on? £2million is a huge amount of money and I think it is right that when we see our NHS under such pressure that we ask people with the broadest shoulders to pay a little bit more. But Miss Klass' attack was hailed by some for putting the Labour leader on the spot. But others mocked her for campaigning on behalf of those people who own Britain's most expensive homes, with a mocked up JustGiving page circulating on Twitter urging people to donate to pay her mansion tax. A mocked up JustGiving page circulated on Twitter, urging people to donate to help Miss Klass pay her mansion tax bill Myleene and Ed enjoyed a quick drink with the other panel members, Allison Pearson (centre) and Sir Christopher Meyer (right), and presenter Tom Bradby last night Appearing on ITV's The Agenda, Miss Klass told him: "You may as well just tax me on this glass of water. You can't just point at things and tax them.' But former British ambassador to the US, Sir Christopher Meyer joined in the debate and angrily told Mr Miliband: "You're going to screw me royally." She currently lives with her daughters in a rented home in Highgate, north London, that is worth around £3 million. If she chooses to buy a house in future it is likely to fall into any mansion tax bracket that would be introduced by Labour. Miss Klass sold her former marital home last year for £1.8 million - just below the proposed mansion tax threshold - after the breakdown of her marriage - but she never got the £2.5m she wanted for the property The DJ and model now lives on this leafy street in north London in a rented house believed to be worth £3m Miss Klass was a member of the pop band Hear'Say, which was formed by the ITV show Popstars in 2001 Ed Miliband admitted he has problems with photo opportunities, and suggested Kim Kardashian could help him improve his image. The Labour leader has insisted that the photo opportunity is "not where my talents lie' after being pictured struggling to eat a bacon sandwich. He has also been mocked for posing wearing a feminist t-shirt and awkwardly giving money to a beggar in Manchester. Appearing on ITV's Agenda last night, Mr Miliband held up a spoof newspaper front page, with the headline: 'Em plays the Kim Kard.' It was a reference to Kim Kardashian's expertise at the photo opportunity, and the extraordinary pictures released last week in which she posed naked on the front of Paper magazine, under the headline 'Break the internet'. The images sparked countless spoofs online. Explaining his front page, Mr Miliband said: 'You'll know she "broke" the internet this week with a risque photo opportunity. Now all politicians have problems with photo opportunities, me more than most, so I have decided to hire Kim to help me with the photo opportunities. Mr Miliband was widely mocked after being pictured struggling to eat a bacon sandwich in May this year. He suggested he could learn from Kim Kardashian, who appeared on the front cover of Paper magazine last week under the headline: 'Break the internet' Myleene says you can only buy a garage for £2million - in fact it's a sprawling mansion with an indoor swimming pool and a sweeping drive Myleene Klass joked last night that in some parts of London buying a property for more than the proposed £2million Mansion Tax threshold would probably only stretch to a garage. But in fact it can secure a mansion in less fashionable parts of the capital and something even grander outside London - usually with a swimming pool, huge drive and extensive grounds. However, the singer is right about garages being expensive, because last month one in Chelsea sold for an eye-watering £550,000. Overall it is estimated that 108,000 homes - the vast majority in London and the South East - will be caught by the tax. This is what £2million can buy you: Ed Miliband's own home near Hampstead Heath, was bought in his then girlfriend, now wife Justine Thornton's name in 2009 for £1.6million, but is now thought to be worth around £2million. A four-bedroom semi-detached riverside home in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, was being sold with a guide price of £2,000,000, in an area where average prices have risen 19.34per cent in the last five years. There are also fears that, if the tax is introduced, the threshold could later be reduced as an easy way of boosting Government revenue. In Oxford, semi-detached town houses in desirable parts of the city, where homes sold for around £400,000 in the mid-90s, are on sale for more than £2million. Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps has branded the mansion tax plan as an attack on ordinary taxpayers whose family home has soared in value. This six-bedroom detached house in Formby, Merseyside is on sale for £2million, and boasts a heated swimming pool and a snooker room. Average prices on the street currently stand at £910,795 - an increase of 5.27per cent from five years ago. A neighbouring ten-bedroom property sold for £2million in 2005, and is now thought to be worth £2,152,966. A guide price of £2,095,000 would buy this four-bedroom farmhouse near Ilkley, West Yorkshire, which comes complete with its own swimming pool and spa. Homes in the area sell for an average of £962,016, an increase of 12 per cent from 2009. Critics have also expressed fears that introducing such a tax would require every home to be accurately valued, which would lead to potentially lengthy appeals should homeowners disagree with the valuation - all of which would come at a cost. Offers of around £2million are being taken for a four-bedroom farmhouse near Tregony in South Cornwall, an area where prices have gone up 7.56per cent since 2009. It could also put off wealthy foreign buyers from moving to the UK, and older people who purchased their homes before their value sky-rocketed and who now have a low-income could be forced to sell up and move as they would be unable to pay a new tax. A three-bedroom detached house in Heddon-On-The-Wall, outside Newcastle Upon Tyne is on sale for £2.2m. There are also fears a mansion tax could put people off making modifications to their homes that might push up the value, having a negative knock on effect on the construction industry. And for £550,000.... This dilapidated old shed, which doubled for a garage, in Chelsea, has been snapped up for £550,000 before it had a chance to go under the hammer
