A journalist at the Daily Telegraph has taken a swipe at the Welsh Government's basic income trial, describing it as a "vanity project". Kara Kenney also attacked First Minister Mark Drakeford calling him "economically illiterate".
Writing for the newspaper, Kara Kennedy said that it was a "hard truth" that UBI doesn't work and that people needed to "get a job, work hard and move up the socioeconomic ladder". She said supporting care leavers through the scheme was a "social betrayal".
She said Mr Drakeford was the author of "an attempt to show that everyone can receive large sums of cash without doing anything in return". And she continued: “It isn’t just economically illiterate, it is social betrayal."
