Labour leader Ed Miliband has accused David Cameron of being "out of touch" for opposing European Union plans to cap bankers' bonuses.
The UK was the only EU country to oppose the cap in a vote on Tuesday.
Under the plan, bonuses would be limited to 100% of a banker's annual salary - or to 200% if shareholders approve.
During a lively Prime Minister's Questions session, Mr Miliband said Mr Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne were the only people who thought it was "a priority to fight for bigger bonuses".
He joked that bankers were facing a squeeze on their living standards and suggested that Mr Cameron was "straining every muscle" to help them.
"This the man who, in opposition, said there would be a day of reckoning for the banks," he said. "And now he now sends his chancellor to fight against the bonus cap in Brussels."
