Rejected petition stop the government from tax bedroom

More details

With the new housing benefit reform it has not been made clear who this will effect, as you may have seen in the press recently a couple who lost their daughter to cancer will be forced to pay for the 'extra' room they have. Many of the MP's live in homes with 6+ bedrooms, they will get away with this bedroom tax. Sounds fair right, what happened to 'in this together' this is a slogan created to make people believe that the changes are for the good of the nation.

WE NEED THIS PETITION TO REACH 150,000 SIGNATURES WITHIN 3 WEEKS.

DONT LET THE TORIES RUIN MORE PEOPLES LIVES, LOOK AT THE FIGURES AND THIS REFORM WILL ONLY HURT PEOPLE NOT SAVE MONEY.
