Jeremy Corbyn has slammed Jacob Rees-Mogg's "shameful" comments about Grenfell victims as part of a wider problem of Tory entitlement.
The Labour leader set himself up in opposition to politics as normal telling an audience in Telford that unlike the Tories he was not "born to rule".
In a thinly-veiled attack on Eton-educated Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg , he added: "I don't pursue that kind of politics at all - the parlour game, the debating society game".
The Labour leader linked Jacob Rees-Mogg's comment about the victims' lack of common sense to Tory attitudes to ruling suggesting instead that good leadership was about "listening as well as talking".
To applause he told an audience in Telford: "They shamefully seem to think the victims of the Grenfell fire died because they didn’t have the common sense to save themselves.
"I’ll tell you what’s common sense: Don’t put flammable cladding on people’s homes. That’s common sense. Don’t close fire stations and don't cut fire fighters. That’s common sense. And don’t ignore residents when they tell you their home is a death trap.
"Do you want leaders who think they're above us all? Or is good leadership about listening as well as talking?"
He said he would be a “very different kind of prime minister” who “only seeks power in order to share power”.
“The politics I stand for is about sharing power and wealth with people who don’t have a lot of money and don’t have friends in high places.”
And he suggested he has no plans to step down as leader any time soon despite jostling from his colleagues in the shadow cabinet and a video by Rebecca Long-Bailey, who is widely tipped as his successor, which has been viewed as a leadership pitch.
He said: "At some point in the long distant future there will be a different leader of our party but I am extremely happy with what I'm doing".
The Labour leader vowed to clamp down on "clever wheezes" used to avoid paying tax as part of a wider plan to redistribute wealth.
He let rip on billionaires after Boris Johnson compared him to Stalin in a stinging attack.
Mr Johnson wrote in a Telegraph op-ed aimed at stoking fear of the Labour leader's tax plans: "They pretend that their hatred is directed only at certain billionaires – and they point their fingers at individuals with a relish and a vindictiveness not seen since Stalin persecuted the kulaks. In reality they would end up putting up taxes on everyone: on pensions, on businesses, on inheritance, on homes, on gardens."
Asked how he felt about billionaires, Mr Corbyn said: “My personal views on billionaires is that they’ve obviously got a great deal of money therefore they’re in a very strong position to pay a lot more tax.
“So our tax plans will affect the richest five percent of our society.
"We will be chasing down tax evasion, tax avoidance and tax havens because at the end of the day if you’re doing some very clever wheeze which somehow or other is avoiding your levels of taxation you should be paying, go further away, what happens then?
"You’ve got an underfunded school, hospital and public services as a whole.
“You’ve got a moral obligation to pay your taxes. However rich, powerful and famous you are
“One day you might have a heart-attack. Then you’re going to need the public services."
In a wide-ranging speech Mr Corbyn asked the public to judge him on his record after five years in government as he made a series of ambitious pledges including ending the need for food banks if he becomes PM.
The Labour leader promised to end “in-work poverty” in a wide-ranging speech setting out his vision for power.
He also vowed to make sure that more than 100,000 “genuinely affordable” homes are built every year and that rough sleeping comes to an end.
