Revoke the bedroom tax
The government should revoke the bedroom tax and help the vulnerable on limited budgets. According to Crisis homelessness is on the increase and there are concerns this tax is helping towards those figures due to people not been able to pay for the rent shortfall out of their limited benefits due.
With the universal credits system taking 5 weeks before getting paid, the bedroom tax is another expense that people are struggling with and there are concerns it is making people homeless. HS2 and foreign aid is a priority to this government but making the vulnerable pay for this tax out of their reduced universal credit is absolutely unacceptable.
