It came as Miliband said he would never accuse David Cameron of 'hating Britain'.
"I would never say about David Cameron that he hates Britain," the Labour leader told BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics.
"I would never say about David Cameron that he doesn't want the best for this country.
"Of course he wants the best for this country, so what the Mail said about my dad I would never say about David Cameron.
"What I would say is that I think his policies are profoundly misguided and I don't think it's true that he's leaving nobody behind."
