Poorest hit hardest by housing benefit changes

Lib Dem = Con

The Lib Dem collaborators like to talk tough about taxing the rich, when in fact its the poor who are footing the bill in the Con Dem cuts.
From next April, maximum Housing Benefit allowances will be cut, alongside the capping of benefits for all households despite their real housing costs. In addition, families who have lived in their homes for years will lose housing benefit if they have a spare bedroom, even if they need the room for carers or visiting family members. This will lead to thousands of families losing their homes and being uprooted from schools, work and families through no fault of their own. All this at a time when the Con Dem cuts strategy has brought our economy to its knees.
So Mr Clegg and Mr Cable instead of cooking up your fantasy taxes in an attempt to please your few remaining supporters, think about the real impact of your actual policies on the most vulnerable in our society.
