Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Hello! How can we ensure everyone has access to the essentials for a decent life? A coalition of campaigners argue we need a new ‘Social Guarantee’ based on three pillars: living wage jobs, universal public services, and fixing our safety net with a living income. We talk through the idea and how to make it happen with Social Guarantee expert Maeve Cohen who tells us about the thinking behind the concept, leader of Camden Council Georgia Gould who is piloting new universal services and the New Economics Foundation’s Sarah Arnold who talks through the idea of a living income.
Plus Mary Portas tells us about the rise of the Kindness Economy and gives her expert opinion on Ed’s sandwich shop proposal.
Ed’s book ‘Go Big’ is out now in hardback, ebook and audiobook: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1119347/go-big/9781847926241.html
