Comments
  • We would support the UK Government rolling out a UBI.
  • UBI is not a proven solution to low pay or poverty and further research as to its benefits and implicatuions would be welcomed. If it proves effect I woud certainly support it. While donating unused food to food banks is kaubible it also risks en]mbedding the foodbank culture into our society
