A simple idea with huge rewards.

The Basic Income for care leavers is changing lives and futures, imagine what a Universal Basic Income could do for child poverty, illness, record foodbank use, and our sense of security and happiness.

💬 | “knowing that I have that control over my money and now my housing is quite important."

1/4 care leavers in Wales are homeless when they leave care at 18 - but not for these young care leavers.

More evidence on the advantages of a Universal Basic Income. Trust people to spend our money on what we need.⁦@basicincome_uk⁩ ⁦@UBILabWales⁩ https://t.co/gE041yPHak

We need a #UBI pilot focused on coal miners somewhere in the world. Wales would work. So would Kentucky or West Virginia. These states should have followed Alaska's lead 40 years ago anyway, distributing universal dividends as people's rightful share of natural resource wealth.

The analysis should be obvious! Putting hurdles in the way makes it harder for people to find the time to look for good work.

Pay these people a #BasicIncome and watch them flourish!!

Add the workers to the #BasicIncome pilot.

Let’s test the impact the policy can have on justly transitioning workers from heavy industry jobs.

Be bold @WelshGovernment.

This is incredibly relevant this side of the Atlantic, when both of the leading UK parties are boasting about locking people up for shoplifting.

NB: Calpol is the most stolen good in UK shops.

Help those struggling to pay for the basics. Give them a #BasicIncome.

[UBI Lab Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @UBILabWales]

Close the mine. Pay the workers a #BasicIncome.

The miners of the 80s were left behind and it created inter-generational poverty in Wales.

It can’t happen again.

“We want an end to this coal mining… and for the Welsh Government to enrol all the of the mine workers onto their #UBI pilot”

We need a plan to justly transition heavy industry worker. UBI needs to be part of that plan.

Great to see @CoalActionUK call this.

@maddyradcliff from the @WeAreTheMU will be discussing UBI in relation to unions with Dr Dave Beck, @JRWill26 (@GMBWSW, @UBILabWales) and other union reps!

This is just one reason to sign up for Basic Income North

👩‍🔬 Groundbreaking new research funded by @NIHRresearch and led by @NorthumbriaUni has found that a #BasicIncome could potentially save the @NHSuk tens of billions, while also having far-reaching economic and public health impacts.

No Andrew, you’re completely wrong.

Shock!!

The Welsh #BasicIncome pilot has included unaccompanied migrant children who are in the care of the local authority onto the pilot.

They are not illegal!!

Embarrassing as usual from the Welsh Trump.
