    In Birmingham, Stephanie Bottrill killed herself because she could no longer afford to live after her housing benefits had been cut. Campaigns against the bedroom tax have already been set up in several cities across Britain. Last week, campaigners in Manchester managed to prevent the eviction of a mature student and her son. We support all local and national campaigns against benefit cuts.
