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

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?
π Our latest #UKPoverty report launched this morning. π 14.4 million people were living in poverty in 2021/22 β and our analysis shows that millions of people would need thousands of pounds just to escape poverty. (1/5)
