Radical plans to force the unemployed to seek work or lose their council
homes were in doubt last night after an angry backlash from charities and
Left-wing Labour MPs.
The new Housing Minister, Caroline Flint, said tenants should be made to

Thu, 7 Feb 2008 10:47:43 -0800 (PST)

something I'd want to tell my mates I have.
What I am a bit concerned about is the tax I'm going to h ...
