That has always been Badenoch’s tactic in PMQs. She clips up the questions to post online as she has seen Farage get away with this tactic. The media are complicit.

This takes you through a lot of background, quite dry but useful

It doesn't fit or sit well with Starmer's law background.

This is the last thing I thought we would see from Labour government. Troubling.

UBI is cost effective and does not add a burden but mitigates issues caused by poverty that cost the country billions to support.

Every piece of research I have read shows UBI does not impact the working population negatively but rather gives people the option to choose jobs they want to do and have the ability to study to get the qualifications for better jobs.

There is enough evidence already. UBI was on the verge of being adopted in ‘70s in UK and US but interest groups scuttled it. UBI has been recognised as workable plus it allows a government to simplify the tax system.

Land tax!!! should be in the budget. That will help rebalance inequality.

I feel that Universal Basic Income is the revolution a left-leaning electorate needs. It would solve poverty nearly overnight, get rid of so much administrative overhead, we are a wealthy nation.
