Introduce a progressive Universal Basic Income (UBI)

What the petition asks
Introduce a progressive UBI system. If a person isn't earning then they would receive the full UBI benefit. If they are working then incrementally it will decrease based on their income.
It could help raise thousands of people out of poverty in this country, and combat homelessness and the impact of the cost of living crisis.
