Victims of the Bedroom Tax in the north of England are
being denied help because of the Tory-run Government’s unfair funding system. Liverpool
Council was given £2million to help 14,355 people who pleaded for discretionary

Conservative-led Westminster Council in London got £4.82million from the

by Inside Housing found. Labour-controlled Liverpool could only hand out £143
per applicant while Westminster could afford to pay £2,038 each. Read more on
