About this report

This report takes a “blank slate” approach to Universal Basic Income and challenges current assumptions in the UK debate.

The report:

  • Outlines the surprisingly long history of the UBI debate in the United Kingdom.
  • Sets out the very positive data on public opinion of the idea.
  • Examines the existing UK tax and benefits systems and challenges whether they are fit for purpose, even as a starting point.
  • Sets out a model for a UBI policy that would drastically reduce both poverty and inequality in the United Kingdom.

These points are taken directly from the current page.
