Had We But Known Beforehand

With all of thirteen months to go before the general election, the Deputy Conservatives' president has suddenly discovered that the bedroom tax is unfair and causes severe hardship for the disabled. The work and pensions select committee has reported that the tax is causing hardship to "those living in adapted accommodation, or who need an extra room as a result of their disability, and who are unlikely to be able to move house or enter work," and who are almost equally unlikely to vote Conservative or bankroll a Bullingdon or do anything much apart from watch daytime TV; and it seems there are those, even among the Deputy Conservatives, who consider this an undesirable outcome. It is tragic that nobody thought to warn the Deputy Conservatives of the possibility of such unfortunate consequences before they helped vote the bedroom tax through. Still, whatever can be achieved by bleating from the sidelines will surely be achieved as long as Tim Farron has something to say about it.
