If you open tax relief to couples it's open to huge exploitation. #bbcqt

That's it I'm going to get married #bbcqt

I wanted a 3 bed but could only afford to buy a 2 bed so why should a social housing tenant be allowed a spare bedroom at no cost? #bbcqt

These people are already paying subsidised rent. I'm not going to cry over them paying extra for spare rooms or moving to adequate #bbcqt

Thanks Harriet for the 1 in a 1000 example #bbcqt

There are 1.5 million on property waiting lists but Labour think we should pay people to live in houses that are too big for them. #BBCQT

How about the councils just charge market rate instead of subsidised then we can scrap the bedroom tax #bbcqt

The end to the situation is get a job and buy or rent privately #bbcqt

You could always avoid the spare room subsidy by getting a job

Go on Ken #bbcqt

Laurie Penny is clueless. Rent goes to the tenants not the landlords #bbcqt

Selling the council houses is irrelevant because those people would then need housing too. Same numbers different ratios #bbcqt

If you can't afford your basically free home then you need to sort yourself out #bbcqt

Benefits should be for the most needy. At present most Tom Dick or Harry qualify. #bbcqt

Laurie Penny is not an MP, she is being paid for this nonsense by BBC licence payers, like little Owen. FoI how much do BBC pay them a year

Laurie Penny has been found to be well out of her depth tonight and what was the point in Anthony Worral Thompson? #bbcqt

Good councils build one bedroom residences designed specifically for the elderly. Then the family homes become freed up @McBerniemc

I've never quite got Simon Schama #bbctw

@McBerniemc Howard Jones he hadn't blocked me yet. As far as I'm aware
