I spoke to the #BBC today about piloting a #universalbasicincome in Wales - I do not agree, however that it should be targeted to a particular cohort of people. It should be as “universal” as possible within the confines of a pilot, of course. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-poli…

Since you are asking, I’ve opposed the polluting dinosaur Silvertown Road Tunnel since before I was elected to the Assembly in 2016. Recently I exposed the actual cost of the opaque contract as £2bn. london.gov.uk//press-release…
Elections 6th May. Remember - @LondonAssembly members have only one job - to scrutinise the work of the Mayor, and hold them to account. Ask your Assembly candidates how they'll hold the Mayor to account on the Silvertown Tunnel - and how they've opposed it so far.

The basic income movement in Switzerland is launching their second attempt to pass UBI by citizen referendum. They will begin by getting 5k signature gatherers onboard to gather the necessary signatures.
With 5 years to reconsider voting no, will Swiss voters pass UBI this time?

The need to reset our economy after Covid is a chance to turn our backs on the harmful system we had before & switch to a Wellbeing Economy that prioritises the health & wellbeing of people & planet

*Kat – Wantage* - Q - does UBI have to be instituted at a national level? Lots of local resolutions and declarations being implemented, but how do local trials link up to become national policy?

Q - Liz Bell Would UBI replace state pensions?
@scottsantens says no in general.
Pensions should be additional.
@natalieben suggests a pensioner rate.
