Archbishop bashes misery brought by bedroom tax

THE Archbishop of Wales is heading a call today for the Welsh government to “show leadership,” follow the Scottish example and bring the bedroom tax to an end.

Barry Morgan, who has more than once expressed concern over Tory-led welfare reforms, has addressed an open letter to First Minister Carwyn Jones demanding more cash for the Welsh housing budget.

In the document, seen by the Star, Mr Morgan branded the underoccupancy penalty a challenge to “social decency.”
