The impact of the bedroom tax is starting to bite for tenants, and in most parts of the country the smaller properties they are meant to move to don't exist. This places families facing choices tha arn't choices over roof or food. The UN have attacked this policy, something that for a first world nation is pretty shameful. And predictably the Government has responded to the critic by branding her 'politically biased.' But it is interesting that it is Grant Shapps who is doing most of the hooting and hollering. He is the ex Housing Minister who came up with the idea. Mark Prisk, the actual Minister now implementing it is much quieter. Too much to hope that he is planning to quietly bin it I guess.
