PM Sticks To His Guns On Housing Benefit Changes As Miliband Attacks Policy Shambles

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11633163

Despite earlier reassuring MPs that legislation would not be rushed through on this issues, the Prime Minister insisted that plans to change Housing Benefit would not be scrapped.

At a stormy PMQs, Labour Leader Ed Miliband accused the Coalition of introducing measures that would leave thousands of people at risk of losing their homes and called the policy a 'shambles'.

Despite his show of public defiance, Mr Cameron and some of his ministerial colleagues have privately conceded that many people will have to leave their homes as a result of the changes being proposed.

So much for the Prime Minister's promises during the election to protect the vulnerable and most needy.
