Miliband jibe at PM over Carr tax attack

The Prime Minister has been accused of using his attack on Jimmy Carr's tax arrangements as a distraction from the G20 summit's failure to secure a route out of the eurozone's economic crisis.

Labour leader Ed Miliband mocked the Prime Minister for choosing to speak out about the avoidance scheme used by Mr Carr, but refusing to condemn Conservative-supporting Take That star Gary Barlow, who was also accused of using a complex scheme to avoid paying millions of pounds to HM Revenue and Customs.
