Judges back bedroom tax
Court throws out benefit cuts appeal
Campaigners vowed to keep on fighting yesterday after the Court of Appeal upheld the legality of the government's vicious benefits cuts.

Opponents of the draconian cuts have said they are pushing people to "breaking point," while Christian leaders warned that they were forcing thousands of people to use food banks.
