Last night former pop star and millionaire Myleene Klass went head to head with Ed Miliband in a row over the ‘Mansion Tax’. It wasn’t pretty, and it does make you wonder, if Miliband struggles to compete with a former member of Hear’Say in a debate, how well will the leader of the opposition do against, you know, a real politician? It’s a bit like Carl Froch getting put on his arse by Robbie Williams in a charity boxing match.

Despite all that, the internet was less than sympathetic to Klass bemoaning the tax. Here’s what Twitter was saying…

 

‘Mansion Tax with Myleene Klass’ sounds like a pitch from Alan Partridge.

You’ll know when self made multi millionaires like Myleene Klass have made it. It’s when they conveniently forget how rough the journey was.

Myleene Klass issue isn’t that she’s rich in a society increasingly dependent on foodbanks, but that she describes herself as a “Mumpreneur”

Myleene Klass: “MY WALLET IS TOO SMALL FOR MY FIFTIES, AND MY DIAMOND SHOES ARE TOO TIGHT”

I just watched that clip of Myleene Klass moaning about the Mansion Tax. That’s it, I’ll never buy another Myleene Klass DVD again.

Outrageous suggestion that newspapers are cheering on Myleene Klass because they’re owned and edited by self-interested rich people

When’s the BandAid single being released to raise money for hard-pressed multi-millionaires like Myleene Klass having to pay £250 a month?

Myleene Klass has typified what’s wrong with people these days - greed, selfishness, arrogance & ignorance whilst others suffer as a result

I’m no PR man, but to counter the Myleene Klass situation, I suggest Ed Miliband immediately poses in a bikini.

We’ve had Myleene Klass vs Ed Miliband: now can we have Nicola Roberts vs David Cameron and Michelle Heaton vs Nick Clegg please.

Myleene Klass on taxation, eh? Can’t wait for Barry Scott’s opinion on foreign policy or the PG Tips monkey’s view on the benefits system.

Myleene Klass, raging against the one blight on the political spectrum that we can all unite against. Grrrr… pesky Mansion Tax!
