my mum has lived in her house for years, brought us up in it. and its a 3 bedroom house and only her living there, she has spent so much money on the house, it would break her heart to move to a 1 bedroom flat,
 

I'll wait and see until it's in effect before I make a proper judgement, but I can already envisage quite a few problems with it - just using my occupational experience.

The thing is, any problems that do occur will involve those on lower incomes, who generally don't have a voice in today's world under the Tories, so you'll have to keep your ear to the ground from organisations such as CAB for news on how it's actually working in practice.
 
How can it be a tax when it only affects subsidized social housing?
It's either a net tax or a net subsidy. Let's call a spade a spade. These people are still getting what get for below true market price.

Again, stupid illogical crap from the loonie left.

No-one will get forced to move though Tubey ?

I think the people that are most likely to be punished by this are single/separated parents who, despite their marital problems, are still trying to give their kids a decent life by allowing them separate bedrooms on visits and by trying to install a sense of normality to them
