'Are people likely to work if they're given a universal basic income for doing nothing?' - Susanna Reid Thirty people could be paid £1,600 a month without any obligation under proposals for the first trial of a universal basic income in England.

@susannareid100 She’s as dumb as a rock. Embarrassing GMB invited her on as a guest

@susannareid100 The correct question is to ask if people provided money to do *anything* would still choose to work to earn additional income and the answer is yes they would. Also, money to do nothing is universal credit. The condition is keeping a low enough income.

@susannareid100 Oh look, it's GB News presenter Michelle Dewberry given a platform on GMB this morning. Another day another step on the road to GMB slowly morphing into GB News. Is it just me or do others see it too ?

@susannareid100 So having enough to eat & heat is bad but billionaires not paying tax & taking kickbacks from government is fine?

@susannareid100 This could change peoples lives and help so many people, including those with health conditions and disabilities. But as ever, the commentary is by those that are not in that situation, so they go on the negative. They say they want to help get rid of poverty, yet fail to listen.

@susannareid100 Dewberry GBNewsmax presenter failed candidate for reform party,brexit party,ukip,whatever shes a member of today,these people always demand where the money is coming from when its helping out people struggling to feed their kids,not on millionaires getting tax breaks...🤮

@susannareid100 £1600, when you get nothing else, is not going to stop people working Whats more likely, is people do more temp work, as the worry of signing off and on again goes. Or improve their education, spend more time with their family, or heaven forbid, just generally enjoy life a more

@susannareid100 £250 billion saved in welfare, billions saved in the implementation of welfare and the buildings/energy required. Medium and high earners will enter a higher tax bracket do a good percentage goes straight back to the treasury. Local and national economy boost..

@susannareid100 It would seem like imaginary Pounds should be invented.....to make this work.

@susannareid100 Dewberry in a relationship with multi millionaire Jordan, getting vexed by a pilot to help those who due to circumstances could do with a different type of support. When AI changes the job market, all the naysayers will be begging for UBI. #GMB #UniversalBasicIncome #Susanna
