That would've have been the case in the 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, 1970s etc. It was NOT a case of something that was allowed in the private rented sector, was suddenly not allowed in the social sector. Prior to 2010, an extra bedroom wouldn't be allowed for a carer or medical equipment. Now it might be, depending on individual circumstances. Those evil Tories have actually relaxed the previous rules. If Labour had still been in power, the rules wouldn't have been relaxed. So which side is evil?

The Tories are evil. That’s an easy one.
