Dylan Bird is joined by Matthew Johnson, Professor of Public Policy at Northumbria University and Chair of the Common Sense Policy Group, to dig into his research on health and economic inequality, how it manifests in the UK compared to Australia, the case for Universal Basic Income to address inequality, and progressive resistance to populist right-wing politics.

“In survey after survey over the last six years, we’ve found levels of support between 68-80% approval [for Universal Basic Income] – that is extraordinarily high in public policy terms, and it’s extraordinarily high because people can see the benefit to themselves.”
