The new and hotly contested "bedroom tax", which takes money of the housing benefits of people who have a 'spare room" has been causing Michael Gove a bit of bother recently. He remarked last week that "poor children" who do not have their own rooms in which to do homework may not "achieve their full potential". However, he was quietly reminded a bit later that actually, that was the POINT, and that the clever people in the cabinet had already got it covered by slashing the benefits of children who don't share rooms. After all, the helpful aide pointed out, if all these poor people start getting good grades, they might take places in the top universities off rich and tutored people, and then what?
At PMQs last week, Cameron took a tough stance on the Labour's unappreciative views on the bedroom tax, saying "ha ha no one likes you Ed, you look like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit, na na ne na naaa, what are you going to do about it, ha ha", at which point Mr Miliband got up to speak and everyone got bored and started playing Angry Birds behind the bench in front and missed what he said entirely.
