@CorynBarclay and colleagues in @BasicIncomeScot should be listened to before any #UBI pilots, experiments or other proposals are pursued anywhere in the UK. Seriously good and sober analysis of the barriers without Westminster cooperation. @cbinscot

A feasibility study on conducting a basic income pilot has been published.
The report concludes that while desirable, it is not feasible within the current devolved settlement as welfare and tax powers remain with the UK Government.

ALT A quote from Communities Secretary Aileen Campbell is overlaid on a photograph of the Secretary. The quote reads: “The coronavirus pandemic has exposed the shortcomings of the UK social security system and strengthened calls to further explore how a universal basic income could provide support to people and reduce poverty.”

“Since the release of the Fairness Matters Report by the Fairer Fife Commission in 2015, the council & its partners have supported the piloting of basic income.” @DavidR_Fife @FifeCouncil. Welcome & evidence based follow through on my Report #BasicIncome

This report and recommendation for a pilot scheme are hugely welcome. We have been considering different models to deliver a secure income for all - one which eradicates poverty, provides an adequate safety net, and also values unpaid work such as caring and volunteering.
