Damning new report on the bedroom tax

"Anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor." - James A. Baldwin  View this email in your browser This morning we report on damning new research on the bedroom tax, which the government has sneaked out on the last day of parliament before Christmas. The report which was commissioned by the Department for Work and Pensions reveals that the controversial policy is forcing families into hunger and debt. It follows previous research which has also raised serious concerns about the impact the bedroom tax is having on vulnerable people.
