David Cameron is facing pressure from his own party to
ditch the so-called ‘bedroom tax’. A Tory MP - Daniel Kawczynski - has warned the policy

the Prime Minister’s former speechwriter has said it is time for a ‘mea culpa’ moment over the change that
was introduced two years ago. Despite the party’s electoral success, a number
of Conservative MPs who originally supported the policy are thought to have
returned to Westminster with warnings about how frequently the spare room
subsidy is raised as an issue by voters on the doorstep. Read more on the Daily
