The bedroom tax was a Labour idea

Very intrigued that the principle of a "bedroom tax" was first introduced by Labour in the Local Housing Allowance rules for tenants in privately owned accommodation - all that has happened recently is that this Labour initiative has been extended to social housing tenants.

Polly Toynbee, Chuka Umuna, Billy Hayes (CWU) et al have kept that very quiet.

All along the bedroom tax was a Labour idea.
