Television personality and former pop star Myleene Klass shad a few choice words for Ed Milliband about the mansion tax on ITV’s The Agenda this week

The former Hear’Say-er was not best please with Ed’s plans to tax homeowners whose property hits the £2,000,000 mark.

‘It’s so disturbing, the name in its own right: “mansion tax”,’ said Klass.

‘Immediately you conjure up an image of these Barbie-esque houses… but in London – which is where 80 percent of the people who will be paying this tax actually live – have you seen what that amount of money can get you? It’s like a garage.’




Whether or not you agree with Myleene, she certainly has a point. London is pricey, and an otherwise cool 2 mil won’t get you much in the nation’s capital. Just look at these holes listed on Zoopla…
