David Cameron made a revealing slip of the tongue at Prime Minister’s Questions today as he answered Ed Miliband’s familiar charge that the government has tax cuts for the rich. “We are raising more money for the rich,” the Prime Minister exclaimed.

This classic Freudian slip is accurately reported in the on line version of Hansard, though Downing Street may yet see to it that it is not in the printed edition available tomorrow.

The quote is about half way down this page.

Or you can watch the clip above at 7:20.
