Would You Credit It?

The Government cannot even be bothered to reply to the Emergency Debate on Universal Credit. David Gauke ought to be sanctioned. I am serious. Answering to Parliament is his job. His pay ought to be docked.

In spite of myself, I am more and more convinced of the need simply to pay everyone, say, one thousand pounds per month, with all income above that level taxable. At a flat rate, with no other exemptions or allowances? I didn't used to think so, and I still don't quite. But then, I didn't used to believe the Universal Basic Income, either.
