🎨 Ireland’s Basic Income for the Arts didn’t just support artists — it paid off.
New cost-benefit analysis:
💶 €1 in = €1.39 out (~£0.86 in = £1.20 out)
📉 Net cost cut by 30% via tax + welfare savings
🧠 Wellbeing gains = €80m+ (~£69m)
It’s working. Let’s build on it. 🧵⬇️

Our deepest condolences to Hefin’s family and friends at this incredibly sad time.

Hefin supported our campaign for a #BasicIncome pilot in Wales.

Without his support - and others like him - the pilot wouldn’t have happened.

Cwsg mewn hedd, Hefin.

[Dr Hefin David MS/AS @hef4caerphilly]

The concerns about #UBI is that a basic income for one person may be insufficient for another, depending on circumstances and need. However, a rigorously designed/ implemented pilot should test that. Wales may become the pioneer for something big #UBIWales https://t.co/pcrckbp21R

Care leavers were given free money, no strings attached. Here's what happened https://t.co/igQXXh7XhB

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

The results from Germany's 3-year UBI experiment are out!

122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with €1100-€2600/mo pay.

They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

[Basic Income UK @basicincome_uk]

The gov pulled the plug on farm support with zero warning — and people wonder why trust in rural policy is collapsing.
A UBI for farmers isn’t radical. It’s survival.
Food security starts with income security.

From @AndyBurnhamGM ‘s 2024 manifesto:

“The logical next step, after the success of our @GMHousingFirst pilot, is to bring forward a #BasicIncome pilot"

This pilot proposal shows how this is possible, so we can reduce homelessness and poverty

[UBI Lab Network 🌍🌎🌏 @UBILabNetwork]

We believe this is the best way for @AndyBurnhamGM to follow through on the commitment he made in his election manifesto:

For too long Universal Basic Income and Services have been pitched against each other. Instead, we need reform that builds on both! Everyone interested in welfare reform and #basicincome: check out this @UBIBath series on opendemocracy 👉🏻 https://t.co/AExr1IwL6w
