Apparently, the Labour Govt. is having discussions about whether a universal basic income for those sectors whose employment prospects are most degraded by AI might be a strategic priority;

of course that's not UBI but sectoral support, and like in-work benefits would actually just be another subsidy to the employers.

So while it looks like a worker-friendly policy in the end it would just be more corporate welfare (if its only applied to some sectors).
