Great question from @afromaiya, youth assembly chair, asking how young people will be included in London’s recovery?
@sianberry says young people grew up under austerity, had services stripped away and are now facing youth unemployment. We need #UBI so they can thrive.

I’d rather have the right to earn a living without interference from sodding parliament driven on by the unnecessarily terrified masses.

Taxation must match income and be used to provide a cost effective safety net for all (food, shelter, healthcare and education are human rights, the means to pay for them can either be free at the point of use, or a basic income for all to simplify provision)
