Get rid of means testing. UBI now. @andyburnham.bsky.social when's it happening fella?

A big mention for UBI4Farmers from Natalie Bennett. This keeps up the momentum from the recent UBI and Regrowth briefing for MPs at Westminster and makes it clear what we need to do to provide farmers with a safety net

Labour has promised 'a decade of national renewal’. But what ideas are needed for national renewal to become a reality? If this interests you, attend Change: How? at the Ministry of Sound, London, from 10am to 5pm on the 31st May @compassoffice.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/ticketed_eve...

In our three recent job ads, we failed to list our Equal Opportunities form and we didn't specify that we'll offer an interview to any disabled person who meets the criteria. We've extended the deadline for all three, as we're seeking the strongest and most diverse field possible 🧵 #SheffieldJobs

Ideas like fair banking alongside #basicincome are crucial for a fairer society. We should trial a basic income with coal miners, such as in Aberpergwm who could lose their jobs in a Just Transition. This would be a great way to support workers in Wales! bylines.cymru/politics-and...

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 that MPs continue to explore the possibilities of basic income!

Wealth, and the means to create it, is generated by everyone. Yet only a few benefit. We all deserve more of the money that's being made every day. It's time for #ReGrowth #LetsTryUBI

If money was redistributed from Group A to Group B...and everyone else?

Stable economic foundations make real change and #ReGrowth possible. #LetsTryUBI
