In the mean time, he struggles to pay the bills.
What amazes me is why they trash the decent properties they’ve been allowed to rent .

I'll believe it when I see it each party has failed badly on this time and again.As for housing benefit it was a clear policy to make people homeless IMO they knew they were warned by many sources before they stopped paying benefit straight to landlords, sources that were well respected in the field, even benefit recipients begged not to be given that responsibility but they were all ignored. Unless you pay higher rates of benefit so people don't have to chose food or fuel you won't ever stop people choosing food and fuel and we'll sort out the rent next week. It just won't happen.
