Good to virtually attend the latest Cross Party Parliamentary & Local Government (CPPLG) group on UBI this afternoon.
With the economy in such flux at the moment, there's a real opportunity to sell the benefits of a universal #BasicIncome to our communities/the country.
This afternoon I (virtually) attended the latest meeting of the CPPLG (Cross-Party Parliamentary and Local Government Working Group) on UBI.
We had an excellent briefing from @UBILabDisability,'s Simon J Duffy and Hoss.
