However, the bedroom tax ix only part of the problem, and other pledges need to be made and kept also.

Very strong points Suze and I also hope for a great deal more as to policy being outlined on more of the welfare reforms and also other issues.

I am not against welfare reform and the simplification of claiming and paying benefits,what I am against is this Govts discrimination and total lack of any compassion as to the reforms they have made.
No matter who or how many organisations are warning and highlighting the dangers and unfairness of their reforms the sad thing is they just refuse to listen and take anything on board.

I hope for a full new look to the welfare reforms from Labour when in power and that they will amend and ensure compassion and fairness is at the heart of whatever is left in place.

I also hope to hear this week of the plan Andy Burnham had last year as to once in power again that he,if Health Secretary again in a Labour Govt; will repeal all he can of the top to bottom NHS reforms this Govt made.
Despite them stating clearly in the election campaign that there would be no across the board reforming of the NHS by them.

No way can I see Ed Miliband and Labour not scrapping the bedroom charge though, it would be I bet one of the very first things they do.
My worry is now,how many people though will have even more debt/arrears and possibly be even homeless before the 2015 election because of this ridiculous and heartless measure by this Coalition Govt..
