The Basic Income Movement hosted a briefing on basic income and regrowth to MPs in Westminster last week.
It was wonderful to have the chance to speak to MPs about why #UBI is good for the economy and society. We hope MPs continue to explore the possibilities of basic income!

From @AndyBurnhamGM ‘s 2024 manifesto:
“The logical next step, after the success of our @GMHousingFirst pilot, is to bring forward a #BasicIncome pilot"
This pilot proposal shows how this is possible, so we can reduce homelessness and poverty

A new book is out. The author reports on the results of asking 80 different people, “What would you do if granted GI for 2 years, no strings attached?” "The answers are thoughtful, interconnected, tender, and inspiring."

“The new poll found that 46 per cent of people in Britain support the introduction of a UBI, compared to 33 per cent who oppose it. The remaining 20 per cent said they didn’t know whether they support or oppose a UBI.”

With the spread of #UBI pilots around the world, we desperately need guidelines for how to do this radical work well. This new report by @UBIBath and colleagues from the UBI movement is the first to propose ethical best practice for #basicincome piloting: tinyurl.com/bdhvnjut

The @denverbip has released their year 1 research results:
Astonishingly, 45% of participants secured their own house or flat after receiving basic income for 10 months'.
Less jail, A&E and hospital visits too, showing how it saves everyone money.

This election has not been a discussion of big ideas, like UBI. But we are not despairing!
Use the link below to receive an email template. Let your (UK) candidates know that we'll be following up after the General Election to talk about UBI pilots.

Nearly £1 billion a year is spent on supporting homeless households. If somehow you don't think it's morally right to eliminate homelessness, then maybe you will be convinced by cost-effective arguments.
