David Cameron is set to hit ONE MILLION more families
with the hated Bedroom Tax if the Tories win the election. New official figures
analysed by Labour show that the number of households affected by the cruel
levy will increase by 220,000 a year. And
that will top a million homes if Mr Cameron is PM for another five years. More

but that number will rise as children leave home or a family member dies. One
in three victims is disabled and 60,000 are carers. Read more on the Sunday
People website.
