The 21st century will be marked by an extraordinary conflict between the assumptions of neoclassical economists and the empirical realities of the physical sciences.

@WilsonPeteJ @Paddy_JBrown @belfastcc @allianceparty @naomi_long @AllianceYouthNI @UBILabNetwork @Chris_Lyttle @BasicIncomeNI Precisely the point of the motion, Pete. If we’d UBI before COVID many of the excluded would have had something to rely upon and businesses would have had support without having to jump through hoops for grants

[Patrick Brown @DrPatrickBrown]

@WilsonPeteJ @cllr_petermcrey @belfastcc @allianceparty @naomi_long @AllianceYouthNI @UBILabNetwork @Chris_Lyttle @BasicIncomeNI As a small business owner I have no doubt whatsoever it would facilitate entrepreneurship and give start up founders a vital baseline of income. It's venture capital for ordinary people.

[UBI Lab Birmingham @UBILabBrum]

Congratulations to @BasicIncomeNI and everyone involved with this motion 🎉.

Exciting times for everyone involved in the UK basic income movement.

Hopefully @BhamCityCouncil will follow soon.

[UBI Lab Network 🌍🌎🌏 @UBILabNetwork]

🚨 𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂! 🚨

Belfast (@belfastcc) just became the sixth council to pass a UBI Lab-proposed motion supporting the exploration of a Universal #BasicIncome in the city. 🥳

Congratulations @cllr_petermcrey! #LetsTryUBI #OurGenerationsNHS

[Peter McReynolds MLA @PMcReynoldsMLA]

Absolutely delighted my motion on Universal Basic Income passed and a feasibility study of what a trial will look like will now take place.

@belfastcc will also start looking at making this a reality and look at the lessons and successes of other countries.

[Basic Income NI @BasicIncomeNI]

All but the usual suspects have supported a @belfastcc motion in support of UBI!

All this talk of #BuildBackBetter and #levellingup need to be backed up with action

Let's be brave and bold by finally giving autonomy to people so that they can climb out if poverty!
