🧒 "I said to my dad, we live in richness, but there’s poverty and, at 7, I realised this does not make sense. We’re the rich guys, and the rich guys are often the bad guys.” ~ Josien Piek

🧐 Abject poverty looms large in the places touched by Thatcherism, and Jonathan’s home is one them.

✊ “The three biggest things for me politically at the moment, are climate change, universal basic income and Welsh independence.”

💷 "Everyone designing the project suspected that a 'money first' approach would be effective. But nobody guessed quite how effective!"

🔍 There's deep learning here and it is this: Money changes things.

Today we sent @RishiSunak a letter signed by 285 politicians, campaigners and academics calling for a Universal Basic Income to protect UK households from future crises.

We can't go on like this.

We need a price cap freeze and a Universal Basic Income so that everybody can afford to heat their homes this winter.

@G_Old_M @BIUKTradeUnions @organisehq @RishiSunak @Conservatives @UBIDisability @simonjduffy A properly constructed UBI doesnt replace all DWP benefits.
It may however return some benefits - such as HB and CTB back to local authorities. Really depends on if you are talking to UBI realists, or UBI purists.😉

[Simon J Duffy @simonjduffy]

@G_Old_M @Hossylass @BIUKTradeUnions @organisehq @RishiSunak @Conservatives @UBIDisability Good ideas (like UBI and the NHS) always start as ideas from outside the norm and it takes time, work and organisation to win support and change things. Brexit and Universal Credit are both work of charlatans who trade in lies: it is they who must be defeated.

[Luke Fletcher @FletcherPlaid]

This pilot is a step in the right direction for bringing #UBI to Wales.

Proud that Wales is leading the way. It’s important now that we ensure the pilot is successful and that it meets the ambition of addressing poverty as well as improving health and financial wellbeing.
