Asked about UBI, @AndyBurnhamGM says he would welcome a pilot scheme in Manchester. โThatโs the kind of change we need in this country. Set people up to succeed, give them a foundation to build a good life.โ

"It's about ยฃ78 billion a year we lose every year to poverty. A basic income would wipe out a substantial chunk of that cost. That's a few billion, if not more for Northern Ireland." @PatrickBrownMLA discusses some of the potential benefits of a Universal Basic Income.
