This is a good critique of work-health issue that concludes #UBI would be good for health (including mental health). Draws on decades of evidence from occupational health that is rarely cited. @Timewalkproject @Hossylass @citizensincome @scottsantens https://t.co/9S7pDf3ukI

Research shows why basic income will have very positive health impacts & why welfare conditionality is harmful.

Perhaps we should provide everyone with a Universal Basic Income, a solid financial foundation above poverty. We have universal basic education and universal health services, as we know people need a foundation to build their lives from. So why not a UBI?

@AndyBurnhamGM on a Manchester UBI pilot: 'If we could build out our housing first into something bigger, that could be a natural (place for a) pilot for us' The mayor also said we need to start thinking about a nationwide pilot look like. Do you agree? https://t.co/8ku6HiE11g

β€œWe want an end to this coal mining… and for the Welsh Government to enrol all the of the mine workers onto their #UBI pilot” We need a plan to justly transition heavy industry worker. UBI needs to be part of that plan. Great to see @CoalActionUK call this. #UBIWales 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
