Universal Basic Income Trial | Good Morning Britain

- 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. People like her couldn't give a shit about poor people or people who are struggling. No wonder she didn't want to let him finish speaking
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 we never had austerity? what are you talking about. Funding was cut for multiple public services. that's austerity. The middle class has shrunk. more people pushed into poverty.
he didn't get a chance to say where the money would come from because she kept interrupting. All the while the rich get richer
@@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. China isn't doing poorly, quite the opposite with there incredible infrastructure, they still have super rich people but they have a higher amount of people that are middle class and above than here. That's saying something
@@Dave25892 We quite literally have austerity right now. I am personally unable to work directly as a result of easily treatable mental health problems. 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. So lets hope I or another one of my friends dont end up killing themselves prior to getting healthy, thus eliminating any possible value that could have gone back into the economy from your tax money.
The tragedy is there will be millions of people - probably a majority who would benefit from this quite sensible reform - who will side with Michelle Dewberry despite her having no evidence and just repeating insults. Tragic - but people get what they want.
The person who continually talks over the other person and never allows the person to answer their questions is the one who has no logical argument to rebut the person they are asking the questions. It’s so transparent it’s embarrassing.
The " ubi" advocate doesn't have a case. How do you fund? The ubi advocate simply wants to steal money from the wealthy and give to the lazy. Yeah he's deluded
It's people like her that stops progress, always blocking never trying to help out bad situations in life.
@lsukglobalmusicentertainme8262 it's more like people like her with common sense
A UBI would significantly raise taxes and ultimately lower the standard of living
She has common sense and STATED facts! He knows he is WRONG….so he tries to block her for talking!!
@@dougking5703 where is your evidence? "common sense" is not a valid argument and you have not understood what is being discussed.
The presenters on this show are just horrendous. Imagine not wanting to just help people out. All I hear them say is "paying people to sit on their asses and do nothing" without taking a single person's circumstances into account
Its simple. Make big business pay the tax they owe, do not involve children on the UBI, replace traditional welfare benefits with UBI. The average welfare claim was around £20k per annum anyway so it wont affect them negatively and itll boost those who are providing to society.
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.
@@susanm8669 I was on benefits for 4 years so I do have some understanding. 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.
Business pay more in taxes which then lead them to pay their employees lower wages...ya great idea..
@@neeleshnunkoo8133 they dont pay any employee higher wages when they have less taxes they just take all the money and put it in their pocket. no matter what you do you wont be able to inrease the wages of regular employees
@@photoluke1499 We dont get another £10000 in energy discounts, council tax credit is less than £500.00. I worked in accounting so I know how to add and what to include. You may get £20000 in London but unless you have your own tribe of kids it's nowhere near that elsewhere. If they introduce the Universal Credit it wiĺ probably be on a sliding scale across the country they've already said the £1600 is just for the trial.
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.
Very well said and could not agree more this is indeed what happens and why the rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer we live in a very unfair and unequal society.
OK that's a great point about nothing to do with ubi.
So how is ubi paid for?
@@generaldisarray6147 Who knows, but if they'd let him talk he might have enlightened us. The government can always fund money for their pet projects, maybe if they stopped sending £2 million missiles to Ukraine they could put a dent in the UBI bill.
Exactly! Even if you think if it’s right or wrong what’s the point of having him on
@@generaldisarray6147 By taxing the rich more. I mean, are they REALLY going to use all those millions? Couldn’t they be better used elsewhere?
This would of been a great idea if they had a trail like this for unpaid carers. How much they struggle day to day.
I had to deliver dialysis for my mother with ZERO COMPENSATION while the dialysis unit made $750,000 for nothing. These are all just fraud and ponzi schemes and getting the herd use to the idea that workers are redundant and will be sent to the knackers soon.
ubi is a trap. a scam. the money will be digital and used to enslave people
Absolutely, even the NHS stuff they could have trailed it on first, too. That would bring a relief to their daily financial struggles.
We already have government money for unpaid carers in the UK. It's called carers allowance.
@@themincingninjapoofsawayli898 yes I know it is, but can you live off that? Do you even know how much us carers get? With that comment I doubt you do!!
scientist: "I have a cancer drug what May cure all cancers I'm testing it now"
that woman "how are you going to pay for it your deluded wine wine wine wine "
That is not an accurate comparison.
get a job dole scum
How are we going to pay for it? oh let's turn the country into a communist state because that's what it will be it UBI was in place. You wont be getting £1600 a month and your salary, that will be your salary, there wont be any reason to strive to earn more as there wont be any more...lol and then where's all the money come from to pay you.
Because the next step will be that you don't serve any purpose in society, there is no money to have kids as everything will go up to match the free money, there will be no small businesses, no way to get out of the position you are in, no big houses, or car's. no nice holidays.
@@generaldisarray6147 UBI could save people from poverty and poor poeple die a lot quicker than rich people. So UBI would be saving lives. How is that not a good comparison?
@@5hif7yx86because he’s making the scientist look like he’s giving miracle cure when the guy presenting the UBI is not delusional
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.
It's also about the definition of 'work'. Caring for children and parents or ill/infirm relatives and friends is work, volunteering is work, being a local councillor is work, cleaning up a local area is work, taking care of neighbours homes and pets while they are at work or on holiday is work, learning new knowledge and skills is work etc. These are all activities that many more people will have more time to do with UBI.
Silly woman!
Let's all live in a socialist society - or should I say communism. Because this is what this basically is.
No one will own anything and you will only have what the government say you can have.
The issue is governments have been printing money for the last 20 years. It suppresses wages and drives investment into unproductive assets.
ubi is a trap. It will be digital and used to enslave the people. Reject it
The woman who didn’t let him talk is deluded
this is the death knell of a woefully inadequate financial system. If the government hadn't made money worthless, bandaids like this wouldn't be necessary

UBI could replace every other welfare program. Perhaps it would encourage some people to leave the workforce but that's really a good thing considering how many workers are being underpaid and exploited under capitalism. The workers that do remain, especially the essential workers, will have to be treated better and given a larger share of the pie.
good point

I would have liked to listen to what he had to say, instead all I heard was how deluded he was! I would have liked to make my own mind up. I don't think it is deluded from what I was allowed to hear. It makes sense to take away the stigma for people on benefits and making sure people's basic needs are met so that they feel able to work. I should imagine the amount given on basic income would be much less if it was to be rolled out. I look forward to hearing more about the trial.
As someone on a ZHC it would be helpful and motivating as I would be able to enjoy my job and not worry about lack of money as I work in childcare where childcare isn't well paid

@@Dave25892 and where's your proof of this? Believe me I'm motivated. I work more than the usual full-time hours

£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.
How do you expect to live off of only working 20 hours a week? Oh yeah that's right, the government can pay the rest for you
@@v3ck1n He said 20-30 hours, which is about average I think. We also don't know if this individual has obligations/responsibilities besides work, like childcare.

So 30 rich kids are going to get richer? 177 people own everything in the UK - they're gaining countless currency, without lifting a finger. What's different. They were born in to the wealth.
I want to be a part of this pilot! where do i apply?
Classic corporate media. 3 to 1 and drown out the 1. Pathetic.
I've been watching a few debates about UBI and this lady has been the most obnoxious person I've come across.
It's an interesting concept and she has done little to help either side.
The hosts were weak and terrible at chairing a basic discussion.
I love how she gave him a chance to answer her questions...
If I was getting £1600 a month, because the job I do is not around anymore but need to re train to do something else I have that money to help me fund and also maybe to support me. This woman and Ed ball and basically the rich don't care about anything but themselves.
Tories really are unbearable.
If i were to think of an image of a person who would be your picture-perfect stereotypical gas lighter, Michelle Dewberry would be it.
A lot of people forget that UBI in many models means getting rid of sick pay, maternity pay, child support and job seekers allowance amongst other paid state benefits, so the amount of tax vs. What goes out is useful to look at, but then you have to look at the savings to that tax bucket, too.
sure, but I had no sick pay, maternity pay, child support or job seeker allowance in 10 years, so what am I losing and what am I gaining?
It is too bad that only the guest against UBI monopolized the interview without letting the pro-UBI guest finish answering. Saying that common sense trumps the pilot testing of UBI based on basic accounting is a fallacy.
Amazon , Elon Musk and Bill Gates, could fund this, by themselves. 3 Human Beings, able to feed and cloth, 66.8 Million people. Now is that fair?
Wow Michelle. What a beauty
"We're running a pilot to see how this system would work and identify any issues with it to see if it's a viable option"
"YOU'RE DELUDED! YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE! THE POOR DESERVE TO STARVE!"
A very balanced debate I'd say (sarcasm)
You know that the people interviewing the dude who talking about UBI did not do a single research. They don’t even understand that it’s a pilot
But who'll do the rubbish jobs after that
I think ANYBODY who has worked for over a full year and in line with their usual income should be payed by the state if their job ends and they should be payed up to a total of three months of 80% of their normal wage (Just like Furlough) and if they fail to get work in three months then revert back to normal basic benefit levels of £400 per person plus rent payments.
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS, CONSUME PRODUCT, COMMON SENSE SAYS THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE, THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS, DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS, THERE IS NO NEED FOR RESEARCH, OUR SYSTEM WORKS FINE, DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS
Giving people extra money makes them spend more....every time they spend they are taxed 20%, then the person they passed that money onto will pay 20% on whatever they spend the money on, and so on and so on..... so wouldn't the government get the money back fairly quickly.
there's no dining out it goes on renting buying foods and basics
It’s just a pilot. Calm down.

Would you let him actually speak? The hosts are not doing their job their prejudice to the idea is shining through. She has relevant and important questions. But when you never let your opponent speak👀 Methinks the lady the lady doth protest too much.
My prediction is that this will eventually happen as the automation of jobs continue to increase greatly with ai and the job market shrinks, we will reach a point where almost all jobs will be done by ai and robotics in the future. Social unrest would occur and the governments would have to implement something like a basic universal income to keep the population healthy. We might not be alive to see it, but maybe a few generations down the road. It will simply become a necessity.
What will people do with themselves every day if not many jobs? Wouldn't life be boring? I imagine there would be more trouble on streets etc.

Theres half the funding for it right there
This will ruin the economy if rolled out nationwide. Landlords will just increase rents to a minimum of £1600 if they know people get £1600 for free :)
Then the landlords need regulating. What a crazy way to look at it, "if we help people get out of poverty then other people will just scam them out of it so why both?".
Absolute CRAP. People's mental health is being destroyed. It breaks my heart to think I can't help my son the way I should, because what little savings I did manage to put aside has had to go on keeping a roof over our head and food and the means to cook it. While that A**hole Rishi was bragging about having 4 types of bread at home. I can't wait till there is a revolution in this country and this scum including royalty is swept aside.
1. The female guest says that her evidence is: "common sense". (Then she accuses the male guest of being at: "The hight of delusion".)
2. "Common sense" is not evidence.
3. She asked for the answer and then refused to hear it.
UBI with the current state of the system is madness, however, in the near future when everything is taken over by automation it seems inevitable really. When companies choose machines, computers and software over human workers and they make more money because of it there will be millions out of work anyway. Its a tough one to solve 🤷♂️
We are already there friend.
Got money for war but can't feed the poor
Can't wait for inflation to skyrocket, when you can get 1600£ for nothing
Universal basic income will come into play once artificial intelligence takes over , this is the real reason 😢
🤫 the sheep don’t know
In the form of a CBDC. You just need to have a digital ID, A social credit score and a health passport. The UBI won't be free it will come will a bevvy of T&C's for you to sign putting you at the complete whims of the goverment.
@@harveysymes5192 That's completely against current privacy laws.
The blond forgets money is made up end off .
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.
Will GMB darling boy Schofield have enough to live on now!!?
If this went ahead after the pilot you just know so many people would abuse this system. I have met so many people who abuse the benefits system.
There would be nothing to abuse, it would go to everyone at the same rate for each age bracket
How can a trial like this possibly be valid in any way?
Some so called academics are delusional.
@@generaldisarray6147 Yeah the people that have done years of research . Looking at cases across the globe where this has already been trialed and worked, There Deluded. But you who has done no research, you know better. Got it.
A very poorly conducted interview. Let the other side speak, I want to hear his ideas, even if I don't agree with them. Shame on GMB!
@@pw3858 The tax payer doesn't receive free money but gets vital social services and infrastructure from the government for their tax levies. The UBI is essentially an extension of this idea, I e. Redistribution of tax money in a time of increasing inequality. The feasibility of it can be discussed in a more nuanced and mature way than was conducted here.
That women who kept talking was insufferable
Daft and unhelpful conversation. MD began by making the fair point that a trillion quid would gobble up the entire UK tax take if it were to be rolled out across the country; then guest started saying it was just a pilot, there were other schemes, she had her facts wrong etc., became a pointless shouting match.
By 2030 THIS MAN Idea for UBI will come to life.
The Digital Dream?
In the future productivity is going to explode companies that automate jobs and use AI have to be taxed to assist the people
OMG Karen, Ask the q and let him answer :) :)
It's only 400 a week..my rent is 140 a week
You can tell which one works along side Sir can’t you! And she ain’t sounding sweet!
That woman is so annoying - he didn’t even get to talk
WE GET THAT IN AUSTRALIA NOW ,WITH COST OF LIVING THAT DOESNT EVEN GET US THROUGH THE MONTH. THERES NO LUXURIES AT ALL
