As a member of the Green Party of England and Wales (GPEW) Working Group on Universal Basic Income (UBI), I take issue with Huseyin Kishi’s post on this blog . It seems he fundamentally misunderstands the GPEW’s proposals and the relationship of UBI to free public services:-

* UBI is not an alternative to free collective public services that Greens defend and expand, like the NHS, social care, education, public transport and free childcare. Both are affordable – it’s a question of fiscal policy and the will to implement it.* Kishi’s cost figure of £331bn is hugely […]

For months, associations have been warning: because of the health crisis and its economic consequences, more than a million French people will be added to the 9.3 million people already living below the poverty line (1,063 euros for a single person). Faced with this social disaster increased tenfold by the Covid-19, 24 presidents of departmental councils, all socialists, offer their solution: a “basic income”. Or, according to certain criteria, the payment to citizens by the public power of a sum of money – here set at the poverty line. In a column published in the world, elected officials demand […]

ONE WAY out of the economic devastation caused by the coronavirus and the government’s mishandling of the crisis is to introduce a universal basic income (UBI), an unconditional monthly salary paid to every individual.

Though Labour’s previous shadow chancellor John McDonnell had indicated the party would be up for experimenting with UBI, his successor Anneliese Dodds last week indicated that Labour would not be considering it at the next election. But why not?

Many countries have universal basic income, why not Canada?

Federal Universal Basic Income (UBI) is not a disruptive to socialism and work! It is about freedom and trust. It is about knowing that every Canadian can choose how to manage their finances and plan life based on their individual circumstances

I believe that Canadian bureaucrats as a society are prepared to rely on the judgment of each individual. It becomes about whether we want an expensive, cumbersome and confusing system, or whether we prefer a simpler way to get a living wage income into the hands of people who need […]

“…the need for ‘reentry’ — for bringing those who have paid their debt to society back into our families, our workforce, and our civic life — is more pressing than ever before. Far too many of these men (and women) have been lost to a Bermuda Triangle of dysfunction within America’s borders, a dark space whose coordinates are demarcated by joblessness, dependence on disability and welfare programs, and addiction.” Big Government’s Overlooked Americans by Nicholas Eberstadt/ National Review

“Successful reintegration is not just a concern for those who return from prison: it is also a matter of public safety […]

West Berkshire Council rejects universal basic income trial A scheme that provides everyone with unconditional, monthly payments will not be trialled in West Berkshire after Conservative politicians described it as "utter insanity" and "fantasy world ideology."

West Berkshire Council was asked to follow in the footsteps of councils in several UK cities, including Liverpool and Cardiff, and explore plans for a universal basic income trial.

Councillor Steve Masters (Green, Speen) said it could provide "economic security, peace of mind and support" to people as they look to "rebuild their lives" after the Covid-19 pandemic."Far from turning us all into lazy layabouts, […]
