The left can't have it both ways: http://www.theguardian.com/housing-network/editors-blog/2014/jul/04/landlords-housing-benefit-tenants
If landlords are refusing to let properties to benefits claimants it rather undermines the claims by lefties that housing benefit is subsidising private landlords ("Why are we subsiding private landlords with housing benefit, rather than building homes which would also create skilled jobs?"): http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/owen-jones-my-latest-battle-to-stop-the-demonising-of-people-on-benefits-9136123.html
I always thought this claim was suspect.
