It was wonderful to have the chance to speak to MPs about why #UBI is good for the economy and society. We hope that MPs continue to explore the possibilities of basic income!

Private equity scores a huge Labour tax climbdown
Labour's changes to Carried Interest perpetuate the tax advantages enjoyed by private equity fund managers, rather than closing the loophole as promised in election manifesto

It’s come to my attention that some doctors treating POTS are prescribing GET (graded exercise therapy) without considering underlying comorbids like ME/CFS.
GET can cause more harm than good. Keeping legs strong is important for dealing with POTS - but needs to be done in a safe & manageable way

Not sure why Farage thinks posting videos of himself slagging off Jaguar adverts and saying he hopes they go bust… is what an MP should be up to.
Such an insecure, prejudiced little man, emboldened by other inadequates to think he can sound off about everything he doesn’t like.
It’s pathetic.
