  • Thirty people could be paid £1,600 a month without any obligation under proposals for the first trial of a universal basic income in England. Researchers are looking to run a two-year pilot programme to see how it would change the lives of the group, with participants drawn from central Jarrow, in north-east England, and East Finchley, in north London. Supporters say schemes can simplify the welfare system and tackle poverty - but critics say it would be extremely costly and divert funding away from public services. So, would the scheme demonstrate that hard work doesn’t pay off?

    I have to admit her saying "tax the rich" while rolling her eyes triggered me. We've had austerity for years and while most ordinary people's living standards have dropped the gap between the rich and poor just gets bigger and bigger.

      We’ve never had austerity. Debt and borrowing has grown higher and higher. Living standards have dropped during the pandemic but overall have grown and inequality is roughly the same as it was in 2010. Poverty has actually fallen. Yes of course she’s rolled her eyes when he said tax the rich, because that isn’t actually telling us how the money will be raised. It’s all a dream.

      @@Dave25892 what you smoking bro? Could do with some of that mind numbing shite. It's consensus at this point that austerity happened and it killed shittons of people. Anyway, here's some actual statistics for your lazy self that can't be arsed to look for them
      > 3,100,000 children in working families would be below the official breadline in 2018, a million more than in 2010. About 600,000 children with working parents became poor due to the government's benefit cuts and public sector pay limits, the report by the consultancy Landman Economics stated. The research found that the biggest increase in child poverty among working families would be in the East Midlands, followed by the West Midlands and Northern Ireland
      > Between 1998 and 2012 the number of children living in "relative poverty" in the UK had fallen by approximately 800,000 to a total of around 3.5 million. Following the introduction of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 the number of children in "relative poverty" increased, with the total by 2019 around 600,000 higher than it had been in 2012. During those seven years the number of children obtaining food from the food banks of The Trussell Trust more than tripled
      > The use of food banks almost doubled between 2013 and 2017. Research by The Trussell Trust found that the use of food banks increased more in areas where Universal Credit was introduced
      > The number of people sleeping rough on any one night across England had more than doubled between 2010 and 2016. during 2016 the rate of homelessness increased by 16%. By 2018 the number of families living in bed and breakfast accommodation was almost 50,000, and there were many more "hidden homeless" people living on the floors and sofas of friends and acquaintances. An article in The BMJ regarded this as a "neon sign that something is fundamentally wrong" with how society is being run, noting that "homeless women die on average at 43 and homeless men at 47, compared with 77 for the rest of us"
      > In 2017, the Royal Society of Medicine said that government austerity decisions in health and social care were likely to have resulted in 30,000 deaths in England and Wales in 2015. A study published in BMJ Open in 2017 linked austerity to 120,000 extra deaths in England, primarily as a result of a reduction in the number of nurses. Another study put it at 130,000. By 2018 figures from the ONS were showing a fall in life expectancy for those in poorer socioeconomic groups and those living in deprived areas, while average UK life expectancy had stopped improving

      ​@@Dave25892you know the RICH isn't the people working a job, it's the people who own the businesses and the landlords and house flippers. They don't work and grab all the money to a extreme degree. Tax was cut by the Tories, but only towards the rich. Because the tories are rich. Ignoring that a UBI would allow people to have a place of living which lets them work. You then tax them on that and make your money back. We have sold almost all of our nationalised industries and now we have a shit show.

However the NHS has received budget cut after budget cut to the point where I have to wait years (I'm up to 4 now) to receive a consultation, living on £600 a month of your tax money in the meantime, and that's not even including the hundreds the NHS has to spend on the avoidable physical health problems I've developed as a result of my easily treatable mental health issues. When I could be working as a programmer earning thousands a month myself. But I can't afford to get seen privately for my issues and the institution that's supposed to help me can't directly because of this austerity you claim doesn't exist. As well as this I personally know 10+ people in the exact situation I find myself in.

      I'm currently on ESA and know people on Universal Credit, outside of London. Including rent it's around £10000 pa. I'd love to meet someone on benefit who gets double that and find out how they managed that. Benefits are not as generous as you seem to think, most of us have to watch every penny. If the government was more efficient and caught those fraudsters with several identities, all claiming, they would find they had more money which no doubt they'd use for our dinghy diving guests because they rarely, if ever, put their own first.
      Once on benefits it's not easy to get off, willing to work but in receipt (at that time) of child benefit I had an opportunity to start a business but because of receiving child tax credits the minute I started I had to give up all benefits. Those who were on the course with me who had no children would be allowed to trade for 6 months while keeping their benefits, at the end of that they could either continue trading or give up and remain in the system. So for £80 per month the government ensured that all single parents remained in the system. Thanks Ian Duncan Smith who at the same time paid more for a breakfast than benefit claimants were paid for a week, almost double for some claimants.

You need to remember that the £20k average also includes housing benefit, energy payment discounts, council tax discount (if you're a single person) etc. You'd be surprised how much it adds up to. At my last place it was £800 in rent that housing benefit covered entirely plus my £500 from ESA.
      Also I wasn't saying you would lose out, you'd be getting £1600 but you wouldn't be able to claim any other benefits, you've admitted yourself you know people who don't get that much so £1600 would be better for them, they just have to sacrifice any benefits they are currently claiming.

    How about letting the man talk? Attacked by both Michelle and Ed he couldn't get a word in sideways. The way they were going at him you'd think that they had achieved way more success than they have.
    One of the biggest problems behind the wage issue is how over the last few decades, executive management has been allowed to pay themselves hugely disparate salaries compared to the rest of the staff. It used to be about 10 times the lowest paid employee and now it can be thousands of times that. They are supposedly hired for experience and what they can bring to improve the company and spend a lot of time 'networking' at the expense of those who actually work all day, if the company collapses under their guidance they simply move on to the next target with their golden handshake payout leaving their staff jobless with nothing. How many of these top executives actually do more than a few hours of work a week instead of socialising with their counterparts is anybodies guess. One London Charity in 1998 had a Managing Director on half days at £50000 per year and we rarely saw them, the PA worked through lunch and overtime every day to keep up with the work, answering letters she often had to compile herself- all for £16000. When she wanted to buy a home and was struggling instead of getting an increase she had to get a second job.
    The biggest problem with poverty in first world countries is due to allowing this to continue, not reigning the executive level in to a fairer system, overpaying for the talking heads on TV doesnt help either.

    No surprise that we are here, UBI will be inevitable in my opinion. I think capitalism may have gone too far to the extreme in the UK. The upper and government classes as well as employers have extracted so much wealth generated by the worker class over the last 15 years or so years. A fair day’s work no longer commands a fair day’s pay, and after many years it is any wonder productivity has gone down if you are not paid enough in work to pay for your basic needs (food, energy, housing), spending all your bandwidth worrying about how you are paying your bills next month will not make you productive at your job or take risks to start a business to solve a problem or retrain for a skill this country will need in the future like software development and cybersecurity.
    I agree UBI may mean some people will not work if rolled out nationwide, however there are people that are lazy, not ambitious and have bad money management on a council estate all the way up to Downing Street (Boris Johnson taking a loan from a mate 😅). We wouldn’t say don’t pay someone at work whom spends all their money a week after being paid on going out drinking or buying cigarettes. I think the criticism should be at the door of big employers in the public and private sector for not paying employees fairly for the work, instead what most employers do is try to employ people for the least amount that they get away with.
    I would encourage people not to take jobs with low quality employers whom purposely decide to be wage lagers rather than wage leaders in their industry.

    £1600 is about £400 more than I earn per month as someone who works 20 to 30 hours per week depending on demand. To be fair, even with the recent rise in the 'National Living Wage' (it's a minimum wage - not a living wage), what I earn doesn't go as far as my old wage before prices went crazy so this scheme would make my life a lot easier, possibly making up the short-fall if it went national.

    I don’t think she understand the concept of a pilot scheme. This isn’t his model either, pilot programmes are being tried all over the world to model the impact of UBI. The funding on a national scheme requires it’s separate research. Also, a UBI is probably inevitable, and we won’t have much choice as the current model of time for money ceases to be fit for purpose, in an age of AI and robotisation/automation. It makes sense that we do this research now to gain an understanding of the cost/benefits associated with a UBI. Better to have done the research and not use it then not to have done it at all, and need it. Although, by the current rate of development and trajectory of technology, I think we’ll need a UBI system by some time in the 2030’s/2040’s.

    The rise of AI and AGI technologies has prompted discussions about how to tax companies that rely on these services, with the aim of ensuring that the advantages of automation are distributed more equitably. Various proposals have been suggested, including a robot tax based on the quantity of robots or AI systems utilized, a value-added tax that compares the value added by AI systems to that of human workers, an adjusted corporate income tax that considers the use of AI or AGI services, and an automation tax based on the degree of automation in a company's operations. These proposals aim to generate revenue to support workers displaced by automation, through initiatives like job retraining programs or universal basic income.
    Although there is no agreement yet on the optimal method for taxing companies using AI or AGI services, it is evident that this matter needs attention as these technologies progress. By establishing a just and efficient tax system, we can help ensure that automation serves the broader society, rather than solely benefiting a select group of companies or individuals.

    - Financial transactions tax - very small tax on every electronic transactions - very progressive
    - Taxing bad things such as coal, oil, gas - serves to drive up prices of bad things allowing the magic of the market to find better alternatives as well as raising tax revenue
    I’m sure people can come up with more.
    Michelle Dewberry opens with “I’m all for creative thinking and looking at how we can do things differently so no problems with any of that”. Frankly I don’t believe her.
    * Top income tax levels have been continuously and dramatically reduced over many decades. Thus it has been proven much higher income brackets function - pretty sure the rich got by ok in decades past also
