Citizen's Income: A proposal for fairer welfare system

Image
In the run-up to Christmas it is easy to forget those in our own communities who are less fortunate than ourselves, people who cannot afford to buy the essentials and struggle to make ends meet. Many of these people are working incredibly hard for very little. Charities do fantastic work to attempt to mitigate the effects of low-pay, spiraling rents and a shrinking of the welfare state. However it cannot be left to volunteers to pick up the pieces of failed Government policy. Citizen's Income: A progressive approach to welfare Universal Basic Income (or Citizen's Income, CI) is a policy that has long been championed by the Greens. It allows for a society beyond the complex benefits system of today. Under CI, every citizen over the age of 18 is provided with an unconditional basic payment (£80 pw proposed by the Green Party). The aim of Citizens Income is to eliminate the poverty traps which exist in today's society and allow people to provide for their families w...

Oxfordshire Green Party Responds to Plans from Cherwell District Council to Build on Green Belt Land

On Tuesday North Oxfordshire Green Party's 2017 Parliamentary Candidate Ian Middleton delivered Oxfordshire Green Party's formal response to Cherwell District Council's Partial Review of their Local Plan which calls for the removal of large portions of Green Belt to the North of Oxford. The review, being championed by Councillor Barry Wood, the Conservative leader of the council, is seeking to build 4400 new homes on ancient green belt land in Begbroke, Yarnton, Kidlington, Woodstock and surrounding areas.

Ian Middleton responds to Labour and Conservative Councillors in the Banbury Guardian

Original letters in the Banbury Guardian I feel compelled to respond to the two letters last week from Kieron Mallon and John Christie replying to my criticisms of them in a letter the week before. Firstly Mr Mallon's characterisation of the agreed budget as a compromise was somewhat disingenuous. Most of the original cuts remained in the agreed budget with only some of them moved to a category called 'unspecified cuts'. Of course it remains to be seen if any of these 'parked' cuts are eventually re-instated throughout the year, but that is a distinct possibility. Moreover the majority of the cuts to children's centre s remain. These were highlighted this week when the Prime M inister's own mother lost her job after the children's centre where she worked closed. Mr Mallon's refusal to see any of this as something he and his Conservative cohorts owe the people of Oxfordshire an apology for is of course between him and his conscienc...
