In a video published on September 27, 2016, she talks about unconditional basic income as way of “enabling people to do things that they’re really good at” and “be creative and different”.
The video was filmed at Coppola’s home in Rochester, Kent, England.

Coppola dissects issues in the tax credits system in the UK, claiming that it fails to reflect the flexibility of the labor market, especially for self-employed individuals. Coppola then goes on to say that the Universal Credit will not make things any better and that the ideal solution would be a universal basic income.
