@CorynBarclay and colleagues in @BasicIncomeScot should be listened to before any #UBI pilots, experiments or other proposals are pursued anywhere in the UK. Seriously good and sober analysis of the barriers without Westminster cooperation. @cbinscot

You may have noticed that we have covered #UBI in a few of our blogs this week but it's also the subject of this week's pod.
