Postponed, does this mean the Tories are getting nervous? I don’t think so… these bastards are business people and realise it is not necessary in a takeover to buy all the shop. Meaning they believe they have all the time in the world to shaft us. The drip feeding of benefit reform will create the same result…..
Housing benefit cuts postponed
Sweeping reforms to housing benefit that will see people evicted from homes in expensive areas are to be postponed in a bid to soften the blow, it has emerged.
Iain Duncan Smith will this week announce that families will not lose large chunks of their housing benefit from April next year, as first announced, but will, in fact, have until the following year to arrange somewhere cheaper to live.
The Work and Pensions Secretary will make the concession this week, as part of moves to head off possible protests about the clampdown, which will see housing benefit payments capped at £400 a week.
It is understood senior Liberal Democrat members of the Coalition demanded the concessions to avoid the possibility of protests next April, which could have fuelled a damaging political row just before the May local elections.
