"End austerity posthaste & institute policy to provide a Universal Basic income"

The Petitions department of the UK Government and Parliament rejected publication of the "Petition for Cross party support for the concept of Basic Income for all adults" details below:

Universal Credit is not working. It is causing suffering and hardship. People have taken their lives as a result of their money stopping. It is divisive and disturbing for our community as a whole. Our economy can support a change in direction. Basic Income ensures survival without assessment.
