Working to get York its own #BasicIncome pilot. Part of the @UBILabNetwork #LetsTryUBI

[Cleo @CleoGoodman]

This is a massive contribution to the global body of evidence on basic income. But more importantly #basicincome making an impact right here in the UK.

I have such faith in and respect for the young people involved.

Very proud to see fantastic colleagues' work in this report!

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

Exactly what we’re seeing from the Welsh trials, Scott! https://t.co/lYLdyqe2FS

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

Think about what a basic income would mean for you - the chance to breathe, to dream. No longer working to survive, but working for fulfillment and to afford fun. It's not about letting others do the work. It's about leveling the playing field and reimagining how and why we work.

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

Fantastic early findings. Read more here https://t.co/lYLdyqe2FS

[Is there a Universal Basic Income yet? @IsThere_UBI_yet]

Not quite yet, but for ALL care leavers in Wales there has been, since mid-2023. And the first feedback is encouraging to say the least. Autonomy; agency; the option to to think if a future where you’re not just shoved about by a system. #BasicIncome!

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

It’s a great way to go!

A must-see if you’re free!

[UBI Lab Manchester @UBIManchester]

.@ProfKEPickett, social epidemiologist and co-author of 'The Spirit Level' will speak about how a UBI can help tackle social inequality at #BasicIncomeNorth2023.

This not an event to miss.

[Is there a Universal Basic Income yet? @IsThere_UBI_yet]

Well … not yet, but something like this in the home of UBI scepticism; that’s quite something. https://t.co/umylX4cI8U

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

Expect to get intelligent discussion about #BasicIncome at this event. A fairer future: what will a more equal society look like? https://t.co/Etsw4R3MV4

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

Yes, Yes, YES!!- how come *this* isn’t mainstream economics and extractive capitalism isn’t some sort of wacko fringe theory?? #basicincome as part of it, of course. https://t.co/XBcm5VwEbI

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

See the fourth condition down. More and more people see #BasicIncome as part of their future.

[Mariana Mazzucato @MazzucatoM]

Care work feeds into almost all of the #SDGs and is vital to achieving them. @AminaJMohammed (@UN) invited me to present today on the concept of the Common Good and why it should be at the centre of how we govern our #economies.

Will the rise of #AI destroy employment as we know it, or create a new generation of jobs?
Whatever happens in whichever industry, #TheRiseOfTheRobots seems highly likely to widen #Inequality, something that #UBI will be a well-placed to combat

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

It does get wearying when newspapers that are respected for at least being intelligent, which *know* how the system actually works, publishes this sort of nonsense. Timely rebuttal.

[Income Movement @income_movement]

"Anti-work activists [...] advocate the virtues of a universal basic income, which does away with the need to work at all."

Are you as tired as we are of hearing this "people won't work if you give them an income floor" argument? See our thread below 🧵https://t.co/9Bzds4OPrN

[UBI Lab Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @UBILabWales]

#BasicIncome will improve pay and conditions.

Workers will hold the balance of power.

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

@TEDchris Thing is, Chris, people of all shades of opinion have been complaining for years about money being “miss-spent” when providing just those “basic services”. Let people decide what they need - cos you sure as hell don’t know!

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

#BasicIncome is a key part of our green future

[UBI Lab Cymru 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @UBILabWales]

20,000 people have signed a petition to include heavy industry workers on to the #BasicIncome pilot.

Great work @CoalActionUK.

[Basic Income Images @BasicIncomeIMG]

What is #BasicIncome?

[UBILabYork @UBILabYork]

This is kind of the crux of the issue and one of the strongest arguments for #BasicIncome. If you have property you can monetise it or live on it/off it. If you don’t you can only sell your Labour in a rigged market.

Here is the book cover for my new book. The book will be out early next year

@TrussellTrust This is amazing and fascinating. Can you put us in touch with the authors of the lit review and reports to discuss possible collaboration?
