We stand in solidarity with you #Manchester ✊ Who should our Sheffield #UBI pilot be for @OliverCoppard? #LetsTryUBI
πŸ’· Canada has shown that unconditional cash appears to reduce homelessness. 🏑 People spend the money on housing, clothing, food and transport - not drugs and alcohol. @AndyBurnhamGM #GreaterManchester needs its own UBI pilot on #homelessness. Article theguardian.com/world/2023/a…

We couldn't agree more, @AndyBurnhamGM πŸ‘ Basic Income gives everybody the freedom to build the life they want, free from poverty, precarity and uncertainty. @UBIManchester 🐝 #LetsTryUBI
Replying to @CompassOffice
Asked about UBI, @AndyBurnhamGM says he would welcome a pilot scheme in Manchester. β€œThat’s the kind of change we need in this country. Set people up to succeed, give them a foundation to build a good life.”

πŸ’¬ "I actually think you would release untapped human potential as a result of a Basic Income" Our own @PatrickBrownMLA of @UBILabNI takes to the airwaves to discuss the benefits of a #BasicIncome.
"It's about Β£78 billion a year we lose every year to poverty. A basic income would wipe out a substantial chunk of that cost. That's a few billion, if not more for Northern Ireland." @PatrickBrownMLA discusses some of the potential benefits of a Universal Basic Income.
