Wholesale prices of UK gas are collapsing before our eyes.

The price of gas has just fallen to its lowest level for 534 days.

Ofgem must cut bills now. End the rip off.

Great to see @JRWill26 making the case for #ubi earlier today on behalf of @UBILabWales in front of the Welsh Affairs Committee 👏

[Lowri Walters @LowriWalters1]

I spoke to the #BBC today about piloting a #universalbasicincome in Wales - I do not agree, however that it should be targeted to a particular cohort of people. It should be as “universal” as possible within the confines of a pilot, of course. https://t.co/YysPL12PJ4

Since you are asking, I’ve opposed the polluting dinosaur Silvertown Road Tunnel since before I was elected to the Assembly in 2016. Recently I exposed the actual cost of the opaque contract as £2bn. https://t.co/TpbXzojePC

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

The basic income movement in Switzerland is launching their second attempt to pass UBI by citizen referendum. They will begin by getting 5k signature gatherers onboard to gather the necessary signatures.

With 5 years to reconsider voting no, will Swiss voters pass UBI this time?

[UBI Lab Youth @UBILabYouth]

Universal Basic Income now please.

Child tax credit seen as a #UBI trial.
Potentially changing how the US tackles child poverty. #LetsTryUBI

Excellent meeting - thanks all for the great questions and discussion

#UniversalBasicIncome

[UBI Lab Newbury @UBILabNewbury]

*Kat – Wantage* - Q - does UBI have to be instituted at a national level? Lots of local resolutions and declarations being implemented, but how do local trials link up to become national policy?

[UBI Lab Newbury @UBILabNewbury]

Q - Liz Bell Would UBI replace state pensions?
@scottsantens says no in general.
Pensions should be additional.
@natalieben suggests a pensioner rate.

[UBI Lab Newbury @UBILabNewbury]

Q - Ant Solera - what are the panel members’ thoughts on how the trade unions can contribute to a national debate about UBI?
