Fantastic to hear from @AndyBurnhamGM today at the UBI Conference spelling out how we need to set people up for success with secure housing and secure incomes. And stop paying for the failure trap our current social services creates for people @UBILabNetwork @theRSAorg

Nice to hear @natalieben talk about a “basic income society” She is right - we need to reimagine the basic terms upon which society is built: freedom, meaning and real productivity are the way forward. @citizen_network @UBILabNetwork @PeoplesPowerhse @theRSAorg @CitizenForward

#BasicIncomeNorth @AndyBurnhamGM says that over the last decade we’ve become a society where more and more people lack the basics - and even what they do get feels dreadfully insecure @CitizenForward @UBILabNetwork @theRSAorg @citizen_network

If you think the Russian war with Ukraine is just about Ukraine. Think again. Brilliant insight by @carolecadwalla
Ok. Deep breath. I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in. The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie. 1/

🚨Pledged funding for arts activities is at stake in the Government's #SpendingReview on Weds. I've signed the @Public_Campaign petition urging @RishiSunak to keep his promise and support every child's creativity at this crucial moment. #KeepYourPromise campaignforthearts.org/petit…
