Voting opens in the Greater Manchester mayoral byelection today 🗳️

We asked every candidate whether they would keep the previous mayor's promise to launch a #BasicIncome pilot in the region.

Only the Green Party's @CogginsGeraldin confirmed that she would.

"At UBI Lab, we believe basic income has the potential to fundamentally rebalance economic power towards ordinary people"

We're in today's @BigIssue, writing about what next steps new Prime Minister @AndyBurnham should take to pilot a UBI in the UK 🇬🇧

A small piece in the @BigIssue by Sam Gregory about why Prime Minister Burnham should consider #UBI and why a #BasicIncome pilot is a real possibility

[UBI Lab Network 🌍🌎🌏 @UBILabNetwork]

We've heard back from our first candidate!

@CogginsGeraldin of @TheGreenParty has confirmed to @UBIManchester that if elected she'll keep @AndyBurnham's promise to develop and deliver a Basic Income pilot in Greater Manchester 🥳

Will the other candidates follow suit? 🤔

[UBI Lab Network 🌍🌎🌏 @UBILabNetwork]

Last week, we wrote to every candidate in the upcoming byelection for Mayor of Greater Manchester.

We asked if they would keep the promise made by outgoing mayor @AndyBurnham to develop and deliver a Basic Income pilot in Greater Manchester.

That commitment should be honoured.

[UBI Lab Manchester @UBIManchester]

Andy Burnham said he would 'bring forward a basic income pilot' in GM before the end of his term. Well, that hasn't quite happened but we have made progress - we are asking for the next mayor's support so this becomes a reality

In our three recent job ads, we failed to list our Equal Opportunities form & we didn't specify that we'll offer an interview to any disabled person who meets the criteria.

We've extended the deadline for all three, as we're seeking the strongest & most diverse field possible 🧵

The Basic Income Movement hosted a briefing on basic income and regrowth to MPs in Westminster last week.

It was wonderful to have the chance to speak to MPs about why #UBI is good for the economy and society. We hope MPs continue to explore the possibilities of basic income!
