With the universal credits system taking 5 weeks before getting paid, the bedroom tax is another expense that people are struggling with and there are concerns it is making people homeless. HS2 and foreign aid is a priority to this government but making the vulnerable pay for this tax out of their reduced universal credit is absolutely unacceptable.
