Jeremy Corbyn said during the leadership contest that he was interested in the idea of a “guaranteed social wage” Getty
The UK Labour Party is considering universal basic income as part of its new economic policy.
John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, said the Labour Party would not rule out unconditional pay for all members of society during a talk at the London School of Economics on Tuesday night.
“It's an idea we want to look at. Child benefit was a form of basic income so it's not something that I would rule out,” he said.
