It's disappointing to see the lack of engagement from candidates on a basic income pilot, apart from @CogginsGeraldin.

We hope that the next mayor continues the work that had started under @andyburnham to make a basic income pilot a reality.

Voting opens in the Greater Manchester mayoral byelection today 🗳️

We asked every candidate whether they would keep the previous mayor's promise to launch a #BasicIncome pilot in the region.

Only the Green Party's @CogginsGeraldin confirmed that she would.

Andy Burnham said he would 'bring forward a basic income pilot' in GM before the end of his term. Well, that hasn't quite happened but we have made progress - we are asking for the next mayor's support so this becomes a reality

Last week, we wrote to every candidate in the upcoming byelection for Mayor of Greater Manchester.

We asked if they would keep the promise made by outgoing mayor @AndyBurnham to develop and deliver a Basic Income pilot in Greater Manchester.

That commitment should be honoured.

A #UBI pilot could be about to help hundreds of homeless people in Greater Manchester

Academics at Northumbria University & campaigners from the @UBILabNetwork have launched a groundbreaking pilot in Manchester. @h_sharland spoke to one of the organisers
