Housing lies
 
The govt are spending 4 billion more on housing benefit than before the bedroom tax....... What's going on? :/


Despite Mr Cameron’s warning, housing benefit expenditure grew from £20 billion in the last year of the Labour government to £24.3 billion in 2014/15 under the Coalition.

The same analysis found that total Government housing development expenditure has fallen from £11 billion in 2009/10 to just £5 billion in 2013/14 and £6 billion in 2014/15.

Yea! To go along with the Earnings Subsidy (previously known as Income Tax), and the Mandatory Council Money Gifting Scheme ("Council tax", of old).

So the bedroom tax has been declared unlawful by the court of appeal and so the Tories need a change of policy. Same thing, another name.
