Pack a heavy coat, folks, we're going to Finland. The Finnish Social Insurance Institution, also known as Kela, has begun work on a proposal that would guarantee a basic income to every citizen of the small Nordic nation. This system of a universal state-facilitated payment delivered to every Finnish person would transform the state's welfare system and potentially provide a blueprint for other countries looking to build a different kind of economy.

The War on Welfare (WoW) petition gathered over 104,000 signatures demanding a Cumulative Impact Assessment of austerity on sick and disabled people and their families. But the government has responded with a flat refusal to do so. This constitutes a(nother) massive 'F*ck you' to sick and disabled people (and their families) across Britain, from a government who refuse to find out the true cost of their cuts.
The social model of disability - the idea that society, not a person's impairment, disables - inspired many disabled people to take action to change the law.
