On Wednesday 8th the Weston Parliamentary candidates have our second hustings, this time with the Somerset Chamber of Commerce and Industry Ltd. You have to book and pay to attend.
One of the things I want to communicate is that Green economics offers growth to a big section to the business community. In fact the green economy has done very well in the crashed caused by the banks and prolonged by George Osborne.
One of the things I would do if elected is to get the DWP to agree to run a pilot in North Somerset for businesses in the green sector to take on new workers as if the JSA were basic Income - Green Wage Subsidy.
