We're still petitioning @BhamCityCouncil to back a UBI pilot in the city.

The world is going to be very different once this is all over. Birmingham should be at the forefront of the #BuildBackBetter movement.

@JennyWLibDem Thank you for putting UBI at the heart of your vision for the West Midlands!

[UBI Lab Birmingham @UBILabBrum]

Big thanks to @JennyWLibDem and @Steve4MayorWMCA for signing the UBI Lab pledge.

Let's keep working to make UBI a reality here.

[UBI Lab Birmingham @UBILabBrum]

That's 57,395 voters who put a candidate that championed basic income as their first choice for West Midlands mayor.

This is just the beginning. #OurGenerationsNHS

@SalmaYaqoob @CllrJohnCotton @brigidjones @MichaeIPugh @UKLabour @BCU_Brexit @kateferguson4 @SebastianEPayne @anthonypainter @lewis_goodall @liambyrnemp @OwenJones84 @michaelpugh Certainly. There's a growing evidence base for the impact of UBI on mental health. The Stockton trial showed reductions in depressive symptoms comparable to that of anti depressants.

Feel free to send us a DM 😊.

What is it that they love to say?

'Facts don't care about your feelings'.

[UBI Works 🇨🇦 @ubi_works]

Basic income critics rely on feelings.

Basic income advocates rely on facts.

Don't you just love it when you notice the typo after the tweet has been up for a while 🙃

In this BBC article, all the candidates for West Midlands mayor are asked what they would do to help young people and entrepreneurs.

Fantastic to @JennyWLibDem mention UBI as a way of encouraging innovation, whilst still providing a level of security.

You'll often hear us say that a Universal Basic Income is our generation's NHS.

The NHS transformed the way we thought about healthcare.

A Universal Basic Income will also be transformational.

They're both expensive to implement, but the benefit certainly outweighs the cost.

"A Citizens Basic Income for the duration of any future crisis may be one way to protect those who have missed out on support." https://t.co/EDRz3py3CV

[UBI Lab Network 🌍🌎🌏 @UBILabNetwork]

❌ The pandemic has shown that our welfare system is not fit for purpose.

📅 Today we're asking council candidates to pledge to support Basic Income trials.

🙋 UBI could be #OurGenerationsNHS.
