Our exciting new polling shows that 62% of people in NI support UBI!
This research, carried out by @LucidTalk in May, shows that when those for or against UBI are considered, a massive 62% would like to see it introduced here. So let's make it happen!

Isnโt this exciting - in Northern Ireland they can form an ALL PARTY group on UBI !!!
In the UK generally we could do the same except we lack One Party - The Tory Party,
Whatever happened to the One Nation Tories?

Following our successful #NIPledgeForUBI we have issued notice to MLAs to form an All-Party Group on UBI bringing UBI onto the Assembly agenda. Thank you to MLAs who have expressed an interest & we look forward to convening after recess.

Great to see initiatives like this @PrifWeinidog @WelshGovernment ... See what happens when you think outside the box
"Basic incomes create the conditions for success"
@UBILabNI @Mary_BMac
Later today we will be launching our radical basic income pilot.
Simply put โ this scheme gives care leavers a guaranteed monthly income to help set them on a path to live healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.
We'll explain in more detail in todayโs press conference.

A modest #BasicIncome could cut poverty to the lowest level for 60 years at no net cost.
We can't afford not to pay attention. #UBI
