Bedroom Tax: Labour Will Scrap Hated Levy

Ed Miliband has decided to pledge that a Labour government will bury the hated Bedroom Tax.  The Labour leader could unveil his plan as early as this month in his Brighton conference speech.  But some top Labour figures are urging him to keep his ­powder dry and use the abolition like a rabbit out of the hat at the height of the 2015 General Election campaign. A senior source in the party said: “Labour WILL repeal the Bedroom Tax. The only question remaining is when. But the sooner it’s ­buried, the better. It’s not just cruel and inhumane in impact but it’s ­turning out to be the economics of the madhouse.”  Read more on the Daily Mirror website.
