As Amber Rudd admits the obvious about Universal Credit and food poverty, either Labour commits to the Universal Basic Income, or the next Conservative Opposition will do so. It was once proposed by Richard Nixon, and it is already endorsed by the Adam Smith Institute. Are Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell prepared to be outflanked like this?
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
