Interview with Scottish Green Party co-leader Patrick Harvie

The video discusses the concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI), highlighting its growing support across the political spectrum. It addresses societal vulnerabilities, such as precarious incomes and housing, and presents UBI as a solution to build a resilient society. The video explores the political feasibility of implementing UBI in the UK, noting the need for cooperation from the UK government or full independence. It critiques the current social security system for promoting low-paid work and emphasizes UBI's potential to ensure basic needs are met and prevent poverty.
