@Fyrishsunset So, not everyone? I would be as well stopping work as I earn just over £25k. Why would I work bloody hard for that, if I can get it for nothing?

@Fi_sairelbe They want to pay £25k to everyone but that’s what I’m meaning … Why would anyone work in lower paid jobs or part-time for, say £15k, if they can sit at home and get £25k in their hipper. Some would keep on working but suspect most wouldn’t.

@Fyrishsunset Good wages and proud to work that should be the way forward. Not this skilless Layabouts with no drive in life.😡😡😡😡😡😡

@jailbird999999 The Eastern Europeans have never lost their strong work ethic and personal pride. They’ll work all the hours God sends and take pride in doing so. God knows what happened to us though.

@Fyrishsunset I actually think I could live in £25,000. I'd continue picking up tutoring, but with free time and no travel expenses I think I'd seriously consider giving up teaching

@DouglasRob0 See, now that’s even more terrifying, but I could imagine many doing the same. A teaching crisis. What more could we wish for 😬

@Fyrishsunset

@angelauk1900 Yup and it’s a thumper. Desperate times at the SNP.

@Fyrishsunset I would give up my health care job , no point in working . Although it would be the first time in my working life I would be on the benefits. Considering I am in my late 50's thats not bad going.

@Vivienn34776861 They just don’t seem to factor in any of the inevitable fall out.

@Fyrishsunset Wonder where all that money would come from. They came away with that last year as well.

@snowdro77746850 They want to tax the daylights out of middle and high earners.

@Fyrishsunset So what's the mechanics of this of you earn say £50k. Do you still get the £25k on top? I can't for the life of me work this mad scheme out.

@PaulFXBrown Yes, as far as I know. They seem to think people will continue to work in order to have a lot more than the ‘basic’ £25k. If it was Poland, they probably would but this is the UK …

@Fyrishsunset A time for a UBI is coming as AI & Robots cause mass global unemployment but the time is not now nor by any means in the near future. When that time comes I hope it's paid for by taxing companies that use AI & Robots.

@Fyrishsunset They cant even control their own finances. So reward dead beats who dont want to work by punishing the middle class and above.

@Fyrishsunset To clarify to everyone in the comments this policy would mean every adult would "earn" a minimum of £25k. If you're already earning over that then you'll get nothing. If you're earning £20k you'll get topped up with £5k. That's its intended mechanic as it reads.

@BigSeaUk Definitely. Panicking at the thought of an election so rolling out the biggest carrot they can find.

@Fyrishsunset I think it’s fair to say that the snp mafia are not too clever with the movement of money unless it’s coming to themselves. Then the criminals get rich.
