British Prime Minister David Cameron has admitted he does not know price of loaf as he uses 139 pounds bread-making machine

He even admitted that that he uses posh flour costing more than four pounds a bag.

His comments came just 24 hours after the Mirror revealed in a shock poll that thousands of children are going to school too hungry to be taught.

Labour vice-chairman Michael Dugher MP said that when Cameron said he had a breadmaker, most people will have assumed he had his own personal baker rather than a machine.

He said that Cameron is so out of touch, he is almost a parody of himself.

Cameron will use his party conference speech to defend big businesses, including the energy giants, who are hammering consumers.

But he was confused when questioned about more down to earth questions on the economy.

He struggled to come up with an answer when asked the cost of a supermarket value sliced loaf.

Instead he boasted about owning a top-of-the range breadmaker - and how he used expensive artisan flour from the Cotswolds, the report added.
