Further to today’s Work and Pensions Select Commitee report - see rightsnet news - Liberal Democrat president, Tim Farron, will today withdraw his party’s support for the bedroom tax saying it has caused “huge social problems” ...

Funny how the Bedroom Tax wouldn’t even exist without the Libdems fawning support in the first place and i also seem to remember them voting for it again when Labour tried to get rid of it a few months ago. Anyone would think there is an election coming up and that the electorate have no memory. Irrelevance beckons.

I smell the realignment of coalition partnerships in 2015.  They may dream.

My response to the announcement is unprintable so I shall refrain….

Come on now, there’s more joy in heaven ...

And what of the “huge social problems” caused by all the other policies they have supported?

Does ‘withdrawing support’ include trying to force another vote on it? If not then whoopy do. I may as well announce that I am withdrawing my support for going to work in the morning - it’ll make me feel great for 5 seconds but i’ll still end up going to work tomorrow morning.
