Nick Clegg listened !

I aml delighted that there is a reversal of the coalition policy to cut housing benefit to those on job seekers allowance for more than a year.  particularly in an area like this, it can be no fault at all of someone being out of work for some time, and the last thing they need is a penaltly like this.   was angry and upset when I heard of the plan, and pleased that Stockton and Northern Region Liberal Democrats put forward proposals to the Liberal Democrat Party Conference to demand that the vulnerable were not subject to cuts like this.  Very nervously I spoke at full conference on the issue, and was delighted to get full backing.  All worth it, now that I know that Nick Clegg did listen and has pulled support fot the original idea.
