Food banks shouldn’t be a policy success story. They exist because incomes are failing. Lifting the child benefit cap helps — but poverty isn’t solved by charity logistics. It’s solved by cash security. Universal basic income ends the need for food banks. #BasicIncomeNow
Great to visit @felixprojectuk multi bank in London with @RachelReevesMP and @RupaHuq - and speak to local families. Labour’s budget scrapped the two child benefit cap lifting children out of poverty & made it easier for businesses to donate surplus goods to projects like this.

6/ 📢 For working-class power to grow, people need freedom from desperation. UBI unions = time, choice and stability. No one should be one missed shift away from food banks. #UBI #UnionPower #RightToDignity #CostOfLivingCrisis #BasicIncomeNow

🧵 Most Brits have shockingly little in savings — not because they’re careless, but because wages are too low and life is too expensive. A Universal Basic Income would give working people the breathing room they deserve — to save, plan, & live. #UBI #RightToSecurity #UnionStrong

7/ This isn’t just about hygiene. It’s about dignity, opportunity and equality. And it’s about recognising that basic income is not radical — it’s what a civilised society owes its children. #UBI #RightToLearn #EndPoverty #BasicIncomeNow

23 million school days lost because families can’t afford soap or toothpaste. This isn’t neglect — it’s poverty. And it’s entirely preventable. Universal Basic Income would give every family the means to meet basic needs — no stigma, no shame. #UBI #HygienePoverty #RightToLearn

"we didn’t see increased risk-taking behavior... But we did see significant pro-social effects – people donated more, gave more money to friends and relatives, and spent more time with friends while maintaining the same working hours." ubie.org/debunking-the-socia…

Another myth busted. Germany’s long-term UBI study shows what we’ve seen time and again: 💼 People don’t work less — they work better. 🧠 Mental health improves 💰 Savings go up 💪 Stability grows UK needs this boldness. #UBI #BasicIncomeNow #CostOfLivingCrisis
The first German long-term study on unconditional basic income ended after three years. And it refutes a central argument from critics. Despite financial support, recipients do not reduce their working hours more than others. Read the full article here: buff.ly/xLi6Md7

German UBI trial smashes the lazy myth. People didn’t stop working — they lived better, saved more, and gave more. In the middle of a UK cost of living crisis, this is the kind of bold policy we need. #UBI #BasicIncomeNow
The results from Germany's 3-year UBI experiment are out! 122 people got €1200/mo for 3 years. All were age 21-40 and employed with €1100-€2600/mo pay. They were happier, healthier, saved more, gave more, enjoyed more social time and DID NOT WORK LESS than the control group.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we don’t want the jobs, we just want the money. #basicincomenow theguardian.com/politics/202…

With automation on the rise and wages falling, the need for Basic Income has never been more urgent. #BasicIncomeNow
Dockworkers are striking to stop port automation, much like the Luddites who resisted the loss of good jobs to technology. As AI accelerates and threatens financial security, basic income is necessary to help workers navigate the evolving job market and maintain stability.

I enjoyed participating in a rally to support #BasicIncomeNow at the gates of Parliament Hill just before ⁦@LeahGazan⁩ PMB was read in the House. We need to do everything we can to reduce the growing levels of poverty in #Ottawa & across Canada

Basic income works. It empowers people to make choices that help them put into action their vision for their own lives and those in their community. #BasicIncomeNow
Haven’t talked about this much publicly, but I was part of a #basicincome program during covid & it helped me get back on my feet, get a good union job & feed/support neighbor/migrant kids. It only took a few months before my life & the lives of my neighbors completely changed.

The government should get to work making laws that put every new person replaced/lost job to A.i on Universal Basic Income! That way we can gradually transition from our Fiat economy. #UniversalBasicIncome #AIJobReplacement #EconomicTransition #FutureOfWork #TechPolicy #AutomationEconomy #BasicIncomeNow #AIandEmployment #WorkforceDevelopment #SustainableEconomy
