Keir Starmer set to unveil digital ID scheme

 

Quote

Sir Keir Starmer is pressing ahead with the introduction of digital IDs, with an announcement expected as early as his party conference this month, as the British prime minister tries to show he has a credible plan to reduce illegal migration.

One of the models being looked at would involve giving a digital ID to every person with a legal right to be in Britain — either through citizenship or legalised immigration status, according to one of the people.

 

It's not about illegal immigration it's about monitoring and controlling every aspect of your life both off and online

Digital Identity for all Europeans

A personal digital wallet for EU citizens, businesses and residents

 

https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/europe-fit-digital-age/european-digital-identity_en

 

Every Member State will need to provide its citizens with at least one EUDI wallet. To ensure that the wallet is usable wherever a person is in the EU, every country must follow the same standards and specifications

 

Large scale pilot projects are testing how the EU Digital Identity Wallets functions in a wide range of situations, before it is launched across the EU. Over 350 companies and public authorities across 26 Member States and Norway, Iceland, and Ukraine, are participating. 

 

The first group of pilot projects started on 1 April 2023. A second phase will begin later in 2025.

 

 

 

If you don't comply you won't have access to bank loans or accounts as well as most other services in the public and private sectors

She frames it as a tool "for people who are here and working legally." The immediate, unstated flip side of that coin is the creation of a two-tier society. Your ability to work, access healthcare, or benefits becomes contingent on state-approved digital permission.

 

This isn't just about convenience; it's about control. She explicitly ties it to "dealing with illegal working" and "illegal migration." The digital ID becomes the ultimate gatekeeper. No ID? No access. No rights.

 

They call it a "key" for you, but it's really a lock for them. It’s a system that will inevitably be mission-crept from checking immigration status to monitoring your access to everything, creating a perfect architecture for social credit and surveillance.

 

Other countries have tried this. We must look at what they’ve done: the security risks of a single point of failure, the inevitable data breaches, and the erosion of privacy and anonymous existence.

 

This is the beginning of a digital prison, and they're trying to sell it to you as a key.

Keir Starmer is condemned for 'utter nonsense' claim that digital ID will stop the boats

 

Quote

 

Campaigners have criticised the government's claim that digital identification cards will stop small boat migrants crossing the channel.

Sir Keir Starmer is ploughing ahead with plans to introduce the scheme in line with efforts to overhaul the country's asylum and immigration system and reduce crossings in the Channel.

 

 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15117501/Keir-Starmer-nonsense-claim-digital-ID-stop-boats.html

 

Quote

 

Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Pat McFadden has suggested digital ID cards could help tackle the record numbers of small boat crossings and could serve as a deterrent for migrants. 

But critics have rubbished the claim as 'utter nonsense', and accused Starmer of 'gaslighting' the public in order to gain support for the plans, which could be announced as early as the Labour conference next week. 

 

 

It will be interesting to see how the fake alternative media take over the digital ID narrative over the coming weeks.

 

Before they start prompting the proles to start talking about it they like to frame everything with a pro Israel anti muslim bias

 

Can you see them?

[pi3141]

Don't know if it's true or not, seen this allegation a few times.

 

Nothing on their website about it, supposedly Multiverse donated £250M to government towards the consultation.

 

 

 

This is Facism.

 

Multinational corporations controlling our ID, our food, our energy and now our homes.

 

The government is willingly diverting public money to offshore companies who pay little tax.

 

Multinational corporations in business with government, the government utilizing or reliant on corporations to roll out services

 

Anyone can see this will destroy a countries wealth if most of the money within the economy is taken out into offshore accounts.

 

Keir Starmer has spent his career as a Human Rights lawyer, yet here he is introducing an ID system that every other human rights and freedom advocates day is against human rights and freedoms.

 

Here is Starmer overseeing wealth redistribution to offshore corporations, taking money and wealth away from us.

 

It struck me that EU has ID cards, so I suspect this move is partly to further align us with EU policies.

 

If he can re-align us with EU in all but name, it'll be a small step to rejoin the EU 

 

Starmer says he for the worker but he pushing globalization and heavy reliance on offshore corporations.

 

He is setting up a system where most of our lives will be managed or controlled by unaccountable corporations. 

 

This, in its simplest terms, is facism. 

 

 

[pi3141]

Keir Starmer has spent his career as Human Rights lawyer, he has pioneered preventing immigrants return because they don't like chicken nuggets in their own country. 

 

He spent his entire time in opposition blocking every attempt to deport immigrants, every scheme designed to control the problem and he has the gall to blame the last government for the increase in immigrants. 

 

Now, despite all the advice to the contrary, he wants to roll out Digital ID adding further costs to an already broken economy.

 

This is ideology over common sense.

 

Ideology over the will of the public.

 

They should have stopped spending, stopped borrowing, deported immigrants to relieve housing, schools, NHS and benefits burden.

 

Instead they increase spending, target pensioners and disabled in order to introduce their EU, Digital ID and currency ideology. 

 

If he had spent this Parliament stabilizing the economy and then in 4 years stated he wants national ID and to rejoin EU, it would have been different. 

 

Instead, he's hammering benefits, giving money to 'for profit social landlords' encouraging corporations to play a role in providing public services, blocking attempts to solve immigration, labeling citizens as far right, paying protesters and Police to stage public events in favour of his policies while speaking in a mealy mouth fashion that is so indifferent or on the fence that nobody knows what he truly stands for.

 

He is a Fabian, hard-core socialist who hates capitalism and democracy. 

 

It is entirely conceivable and in keeping with Fabian strategy, to bit by bit, making bad decisions, that damage our system until it's broken. 

 

Gordon Briwn removing tax relief on pension schemes, everyone told him don't do it, but he thought he knew best, he killed our final salary pensions and wrecked pensions in general.

 

Making us all poorer, totally in contradiction to what Labour stand for. 

 

Did he change it back?

 

Did politicians and civil servants lose final salary and gold plated pensions?

 

No.

 

So Gordon Brown, Labour, the workers party, destroyed a part of our economy, by 'mistake' and it's impossible to 'undo' that mistake.

 

Rachel Reeves discovered a £20Bn black hole, but oops, now it's £50Bn.

 

Keir Starmer has developed the EHCR guidance to prevent the return of immigrants, blocked every scheme to solve the problem and now tells us, despite all his experience in human rights the best solution is to continue on course but issue national ID to help, in a small way, prevent immigrants working illegally. We just got to keep paying their benefits.

 

Can they really be this incompetent?

 

The answer is no.

 

We are seeing the rise of their ideology, perhaps the final push to break our society completely, saddle us up with so much debt we'll never pay it off, transfer assets and services to the private, offshore sector who will suck the economy dry ensuring we will be perpetual debt slaves, and finally so closely aligning with EU that eventually we'll be back in it against our legal democratic referendum, ruled by multilayer bureaucracy with gold plated pensions and huge salaries.

 

They will kill small businesses and wealth creators like farming, independent shops etc with regulations, taxes and business costs. 

 

Only offshore corporations will be able to compete.

 

Curry's, the high st electrical shop, has offshored part of its business to survive in this economy. 

 

We will have corporate offshore landlords, banks, shops and our public services, including defence, will be run by private offshore shareholder backed investment companies.

 

This is as far away from Labour 'for the worker' party ideology you can get.

 

Nationalize services, strong unions, fair pay, low rents, great public services, strong safety net in welfare systems and good education. 

 

Labour, so far, and under Blair, is doing everything it can to saddle us with debt, regulations and taxes, forcing us to be multicultural but not our culture, while while encouraging Globalism and multinational corporate rule.

 

When the party for the worker tell the workers they will not work unless they comply to their system because of a problem they themselves caused and will force it upon us without referendum or mandate which benefits no one but government control.

 

Its Facism.

Gold-plated pensions for councillors despite record tax rises

Minister tells 16,000 elected officials ‘you deserve it’ as he reinstates taxpayer-funded retirement income

Councillors are to be handed gold-plated pensions despite record increases in council tax.

 

More than 16,000 elected officials will be given taxpayer-funded retirement income under the plans announced by Steve Reed, the Communities Secretary, who added: “You deserve it.”

 

The pension perks were unveiled despite a surge in council tax, which is projected to rise by £9.4bn across England in the next four years, and the risk of bankruptcy in several local authorities.

 

A further tax raid is widely expected in Rachel Reeves’s November Budget as the Chancellor battles to fill a black hole in the public finances of up to £30bn. On Monday, Ms Reeves warned that “the world has changed” since she previously pledged not to impose more large tax rises.

 

Councillors are paid an allowance, but are considered voluntary workers and are barred from accessing the local government pension scheme (LGPS) after a 2014 decision by the Conservatives during austerity.

 

around £7,000 a year, according to the Local Government Association. Some can earn as much as £16,000, depending on the council.

 

Councillors were removed from the pension scheme again under an austerity measure by Sir Brandon Lewis, the former local government secretary.

 

At the time, he said removing councillors’ pension entitlement would save the taxpayer around £7m a year, or almost £10m in current prices.

 

Labour has more councillors in England and Wales than any other party, and accounts for a third of the total number of seats.

 

However, councils are also under significant political pressure after a string of effective bankruptcies in six areas and strikes that have stopped bin collections in Birmingham since March.

 

On Sunday, The Telegraph revealed that British people are expected to pay an extra £9.4bn in council tax in England by 2029.

 

A Freedom of Information request revealed that the Government is expecting all councils to increase council tax bills by five per cent each year of this Parliament – the maximum amount allowed by law.

 

Telegraph 

 

So even though the economy is in tatters, they've virtually bankrupted us, they reward themselves and push up our costs even higher. 

 

This was not the time to do it.

 

It just shows, these people are out of control, the disconnect with reality, I can only think they are intentionally destroying our economy and hence our society.

 

We'll be ruined, debt slaves, but our incompetent rulers will be paid handsomely. 

 

[pi3141]

The Government has responded - we will not listen to you or your concerns.

 

Response  - 

 

The Government has announced plans to introduce a digital ID system which is fit for the needs of modern Britain. We are committed to making people’s everyday lives easier and more secure, to putting more control in their hands (including over their own data), and to driving growth through harnessing digital technology. We also want to learn from countries which have digitised government services for the benefit of their citizens, in line with our manifesto commitment to modernise government.

 

Currently, when UK citizens and residents use public services, start a new job, or, for example, buy alcohol, they often need to present an assortment of physical documents to prove who they are or things about themselves. This is both bureaucratic for the individual and creates space for abuse and fraud. This includes known issues with illegal working and modern slavery, while the fragmented approach and multiple systems across Government make it difficult for people to access vital services.

 

Further, there are too many people who are excluded, like the 1 in 10 UK adults who don’t have a physical photo ID, so can struggle to prove who they are and access the products and services they are entitled to.

 

To tackle these interlinked issues, we will introduce a new national digital ID. This is not a card but a new digital identity that will be available for free to all UK citizens and legal residents aged 16 and over (although we will consider through consultation if this should be age 13 and over).

 

Over time, people will be able to use it to seamlessly access a range of public and private sector services, with the aim of making our everyday lives easier and more secure. It will not be compulsory to obtain a digital ID but it will be mandatory for some applications.

 

For example, the new digital ID will build on GOV.UK One Login and the GOV.UK Wallet to drive the transformation of public services. Over time, this system will allow people to access government services – such as benefits or tax records – without needing to remember multiple logins or provide physical documents. It will significantly streamline interactions with the state, saving time and reducing frustrating paperwork, while also helping to create opportunities for more joined up government services. International examples show how beneficial this can be. For instance, Estonia’s system reportedly saves each citizen hours every month by streamlining unnecessary bureaucracy, and the move to becoming a digital society has saved taxpayer money.

 

By the end of this Parliament, employers will have to check the new digital ID when conducting a ‘right to work’ check. This will help combat criminal gangs who promise access to the UK labour market in order to profit from dangerous and illegal channel crossings. It will create a fairer system between UK citizens and legal residents, crack down on forged documents, and streamline the process for employers, driving up compliance.

 

Further, it will create business information showing where employers are conducting checks, so driving more targeted action against non-compliant employers.

For clarity, it will not be a criminal offence to not hold a digital ID and police will not be able to demand to see a digital ID as part of a “stop and search.”

 

Privacy and security will also be central to the digital ID programme. We will follow data protection law and best practice in creating a system which people can rightly put their trust in. People in the UK already know and trust digital credentials held in their phone wallets to use in their everyday lives, from paying for things to storing boarding passes. The new system will be built on similar technology and be your boarding pass to government. Digitally checkable digital credentials are more secure than physical documents which can be lost, copied or forged, and often mean sharing more information than just what is necessary for a given transaction.

The new system will be designed in accordance with the highest security standards to protect against a comprehensive range of threats, including cyber-attacks.

 

We will launch a public consultation in the coming weeks and work closely with employers, trade unions, civil society groups and other stakeholders, to co-design the scheme and ensure it is as secure and inclusive as possible. Following consultation, we will seek to bring forward legislation to underpin this system.

Palantir UK boss rules out contract bids for digital ID over 'undemocratic' concern

Fiona Brown
Fri 3 October 2025 at 1:27 pm BST
2 min read

 

US spyware firm has ruled out helping the UK Government implement digital ID over concerns the legislation is “undemocratic”.

 

Palantir Technologies, a software company which has previously been linked to the IDF, said it would not be participating in the roll-out and warned it was a “programme that needs to be decided at the ballot box”, according to reports from The Times.

 

Due to its contracts with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and its specialism in data management, as well as £1.5 billion in UK investments announced last month, Palantir was thought to be a possible bidder as digital IDs are set to become mandatory.

 

The firm’s UK boss Louis Mosley said, however, that Palantir would not bid for contracts and criticised the UK Government’s decision to implement the IDs.

 

Speaking to Times Radio, Mosley said the firm had “a policy that we will help democratically elected governments implement the policies they have been elected to deliver”, but added that since digital IDs were not on the Labour Party’s manifesto for the 2024 general election and therefore hasn’t seen “a clear resounding public support at the ballot box”, it “isn’t one for” Palantir.

 

Mosley went on to say that he had “personal concerns” over the scheme and the potential abuses it could face, as well as the “technical necessity” for its implementation.

 

We have all had the experience of engaging with parts of government where the online experience leaves something to be desired. It needs improvement”, he added.

 

The Palantir boss went on to highlight the number of unique ID forms most UK citizens already possess – including passports, driving licenses, tax codes and National Insurance numbers – and how there was “no way” for the Government to move between each form.

[pi3141]

Perhaps Starmer could ask China to run it for us.

 

They have experience, they run their own Digital ID scheme, Starmer wants investment from them, so agree to pay them to run our ID in return for greater investment by China in UK's infrastructure?

 

Like a 1 in 1 out deal.

 

We give you money, you give money back and everyone's a winner.

 

[pi3141]

From tinternet. 

 

Starmer has a problem. 

 

And creating a Brit card excluding immigrants will end up in the echr.

Where it will cost millions trying to defend something that Blair tried and lost when that thing was pm.

Starmer is only doing Blair’s bidding.

 

 He wants to mandate digital ID for every Briton. He dresses it up in two slogans: “preventing fraud” and “stopping illegal working.” Fabian Blair used the same lines in 2004 when he tried and failed to push ID cards.

 

But here’s the trap he’s in: 

 

Britain is bound by the European Convention on Human Rights. 

 

Article 8 protects our privacy, Article 14 bans discrimination. 

 

Strasbourg has already ruled against blanket DNA and biometric databases in S & Marper v UK (2008) and against unregulated facial recognition in Bridges v South Wales Police (2020). 

 

You can not strip people of their livelihoods or force them into surveillance on pain of starvation. 

 

Any mandatory digital ID tied to work or survival would fail the ECHR tests of legality, necessity and proportionality.

 

And it gets worse for him. Under the UN’s Agenda 2030, SDG 16.9, states have pledged to provide “legal identity for all, including birth registration.” That language was written to protect migrants, stateless persons and refugees. 

 

It means digital ID can not lawfully be used to exclude foreign workers from jobs or services. It has to empower them. So if Starmer sells this scheme as a way to block “illegal working,” he’s trampling over the very human rights treaties he boasts of upholding.

 

So, what are his choices?

 

He could leave the ECHR. But that unlocks the opposite of his Fabian wet dream. Outside the Convention, Britain could indeed deport en masse, shut borders, and sweep away the legal brakes on state power. 

 

(Labour will never do that because the Fabian project depends on international treaties and courts to entrench their system above democratic challenge.)

 

Or he could stay in the ECHR. But then his hands are tied. The judges in Strasbourg have already said you can’t keep every citizen’s DNA, can’t roll out facial recognition without safeguards, can’t discriminate against migrants. By that precedent, he can not compel digital ID without being dragged through the courts.

 

And then there’s Agenda 2030 itself. It locks in digital ID as a protection for migrants, not a punishment. So he can’t use it against them either.

 

So, Starmer’s “digital ID” agenda is a Fabian mess. It can’t lawfully be forced on migrants. It can’t lawfully be forced on citizens without leaving the ECHR. And leaving the ECHR would destroy his arguments against deportations. 

 

He is boxed in. The only way he can get his way is if we let him bluff us into believing this is inevitable. It isn’t. He’s trapped.

 

[pi3141]

The Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill.

 

Link - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childrens-wellbeing-and-schools-bill-2024-policy-summary

 

This Bill will apparently be tied in with Digital ID.

 

It will allow greater information sharing between agencies, schools, social services and Police. 

 

What it also does is remove the automatic right to Home school.

 

Forces Academy schools to pay teachers the same as National schools and force Academy's to follow the National Curriculum. 

 

It obviously gives more powers to local government to decide what's best for the child.

 

It talks about restrictions of Liberty to children at risk.

 

Its just come up on my radar but I'm asking, where has this come from.

 

Was it in the manifesto?

 

We've now got Digital ID being rolled out without a democratic mandate.

 

They are joining it up with greater powers and information sharing regarding children.

 

It stops Academy's from being independent. If they have to pay the same salaries and teach the same Curriculum, what's the point in having Academy's?

 

Removes the right to Home School. 

 

[pi3141]

This is their Marxist ideology on display.

 

As i understand Academy schools are a kind of half way house between State and Private schools. 

 

They are making Private schools to expensive, many have shut down.

 

They are forcing Academies to take difficult and disruptive children, to pay the same as State schools and teach the same way.

 

They're removing your right to homeschooling.

 

They are telling us how much sugar we are allowed to eat.

 

They are rolling out Digital ID and increasing State control of our children's education. 

 

They are removing personal choices, destroying alternative options and increasing State control.

 

We will be forced to live by their rules, everything controlled by the State.

 

They are justifying this by arguing it improves care to vulnerable children and reduces education costs to parents.

 

The rights of a minority over the rights of the majority. 

 

But it just gives them greater powers of interference and reduces access to non State schooling. 

 

We will all be educated by the state, with State controlled curriculum, following state mandated pathways. 

 

Our children can be deprived of Liberty (in the document) for the child's benefit. 

 

Our children's personal details will be stored and can be shared amongst government, social services and police.

 

There will soon be no choice, it will only be State education with State curriculum controlled by the State and enforced by social services and the police.

 

When you go out, you will be told what to eat.

This popped up today. Gordon Brown was supposed to be an economic genius.

 

Yet he ruined the Pensions and sold the nations Gold off cheap.

 

How genius is that?

 

Well it is genius if your intentions are to ruin the capitalist system from within. 

 

A bad decision here and there.

 

 

Cost of Gordon Brown's gold sale 25 years ago spirals to £35BILLION

 

The cost of Gordon Brown’s decision to sell the nation’s gold on the cheap 25 years ago has ballooned to £35billion.

 

The then-Labour Chancellor sold 395 tonnes of bullion between 1999 and 2002 for a paltry £2.6billion.

 

The cost of Gordon Brown’s decision to sell the nation’s gold on the cheap 25 years ago has ballooned to £35billion.

 

The then-Labour Chancellor sold 395 tonnes of bullion between 1999 and 2002 for a paltry £2.6billion.

 

The difference is a whopping £35.4billion – highlighting the cost of his decision at a time when the current Labour chancellor Rachel Reeves is desperately scrambling to raise funds.

Tory business spokesman Andrew Griffith said: ‘A decision which was foolish at the time now looks catastrophically ignorant. An apology is due to the nation’s children whom his decision has burdened with extra debt.’

Mr Brown announced plans to sell almost half of Britain’s gold reserves in May 1999 to reduce the country’s reliance on bullion.

He later insisted it was a ‘perfectly reasonable’ decision as he looked to diversify Britain’s investments – ploughing much of the money raised into government bonds.

 

But his critics claim it was one of the worst financial decisions in British political history and cost the nation billions.

 

Mr Brown sold at an average price of $275 an ounce - a level that has since become known as 'the Brown bottom'.

 

The price of gold has risen almost 15-fold since then.

 

Veteran City commentator David Buik said: ‘Had Gordon Brown had the foresight to keep the gold reserves, the UK’s finances might have been £35billion to the good. And to think “prudence” was his byword.’

 

Gold has gone on a dizzying rally this year, climbing 50 per cent to a string of record highs, as investors worried about the state of the world look for somewhere safe to park their cash.

As an economic genius, did he not know the price of gold fluctuates and that it was at a low point?

 

He can't be that stupid, if he was, what the Hell was he doing running the country's finances.

 

Look at Digital ID, it's obvious this should be maintained and administered by the government. 

 

To give its citizens personal details over to a private company to administer and store is highly questionable. 

 

Why don't we ask an IT company to run our military systems?

 

Maintained the nuclear launch systems?

 

Its to important. 

 

But not our personal details.

 

Thats worth a risk and the huge sums it would generate, the jobs, pay someone else to do it.

 

So we give taxpayers personal details to a private company to look after and profit from.

 

Its the dumbest idea ever, at least since Gordon Brown was in government anyway.

 

It takes wealth out of our economy. 

 

It hands private and secure data of citezenship to a private company.

 

Starmer can not see how risky, damaging, insecure, costly and frankly politicizing that is.

 

If the CEO doesn't like a particular party, what's to stop him dragging his feet, being uncooperative. 

 

What about employees getting paid off to provide sensitive data.

 

Its just an unbelievably stupid response to a problem, executed in an unbelievably stupid way.

 

 

[pi3141]

Here's the announcement 

 

 

He does not say 'to all people working illegally, you will not work without Digital ID'

 

He says 'let me spell it out, you will not work, in the United Kingdom, without Digital ID'

 

He talks of 'fair minded, decent people' as some sort of plea to justify a serious policy without mandate.

 

He doesn't do much to soften the news, he could've said- 'we're in a serious situation and we believe this will be good for the economy and be a deterrent, it will ensure no one off the boats will be able to work and that will slow the numbers,'

 

He says, decent people want to have faith in the government so we're introducing a mandatory ID. Let me spell that out YOU won't be allowed to work.....'

 

This isn't a PM speaking from the heart, appealing to citizens, 'its a tough choice but we must do this.'

 

This is a dictator making a mealy mouthed appeal to decency before imposing a system that nobody wants, voted for or thinks will do anything to fix the problem he says it will.

 

And then he spells it out - we won't work without it.

 

No job no money, no money no house, no food, no nothing. 

 

No benefits without it?

 

Totally excluded from your society because of this policy?

 

How so.

 

Do Pensioners need it to get their pension?

 

They don't work.

 

If children are given it for the purposes of tracking their education under the new education bill their pushing through, as some say they are going to do.

 

Thats the entire population tracked from birth to death by the government, the system in the hands of private companies and none of this was voted on nor will fix the problem he says it will.

 

Yet he doesn't appeal to us for cooperation. 

 

He dictates it to us, then he spells it out for us all.

 

Then he goes back to fairer honest society and decent people.

 

Its a charade. 

 

 

[pi3141]

 

Its another peice of insidious legislation that supposedly protects vulnerable children and saves parents money.

 

So once again, to help a minority a majority have to be included but don't worry it will save the parents of non vulnerable children a few quid.

 

Meanwhile the government gets complete control and access to personal data with the ability to track and punish as they choose. 

 

But decent, fair minded non racist people who care about the most vulnerable in our society will be pleased.

 

F*ckin passive aggressive mealy mouthed dictator.

Labour accused of developing a surveillance state as it pushes 'sinister' digital ID cards for children as young as 13

 

Children as young as 13 could be forced to have digital ID cards under ‘sinister’ plans to expand the role of the state in people’s lives.

 

A petition against digital ID signed by almost three million people has been dismissed by ministers who vowed to press ahead with imposing them before the election.

 

In a formal response, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said the government would introduce ID cards for everyone aged 16 and over by the time of the next election.

And, in a significant extension of the scheme, the department said ministers will now consult on bringing in so-called 'Brit Cards' for children as young as 13.

 

The response also suggests that the scheme will expand far beyond the original proposal to tackle illegal working – with ID cards potentially needed to access a wide range of public services. It states that digital ID will eventually become people’s ‘boarding pass to government’.

 

Silkie Carlo, director of civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, said digital ID was ‘fast becoming a digital permit required to live our everyday lives’.

 

She added: ‘Starmer has sold his Orwellian digital ID scheme to the public on the lie that it will only be used to stop illegal working but now the truth, buried in the small print, is becoming clear.

 

‘We now know that digital IDs could be the backbone of a surveillance state and used for everything from tax and pensions to banking and education.

 

The prospects of enrolling even children into this sprawling biometric system is sinister, unjustified and prompts the chilling question of just what he thinks the ID will be used for in the future.

 

'No one voted for this and millions of people who have signed the petition against it are simply being ignored.’

 

Conservative MP Greg Smith warned that the scale of the government’s plans had ‘sinister implications for the future’.

 

‘Digital ID opens up a Pandora’s Box for big state, intrusive government,’ he said. ‘This raises big questions about what they might be used for in the future. Why on earth are they suggesting children need them? Could they be told to produce them to go to school?

 

‘We risk ending up with a situation where the law-abiding majority face more state interference in their lives while the illegal migrants who this is supposedly aimed at carry on ignoring the rules as they do at the moment.’

 

Sir Keir Starmer defended the plan, saying the government could not ‘shirk’ from tackling illegal immigration.

 

Speaking at a press conference in Mumbai, the Prime Minister said: ‘On digital ID, let me be really clear – we have made a commitment to do whatever we can to stop people arriving illegally in the UK. One of the issues is the ability people have to work in our economy illegally. We have to do something about that – we can’t shirk that. We had a strong manifesto commitment to deal with it.

 

‘The vast majority of people in the UK wants it gripped and we need to therefore take the measures necessary to grip it.’

 

Keir said digital ID would also trigger ‘great benefits’ for the public in speeding up access to public services.

 

A public petition stating ‘Do not introduce digital ID cards’ has now been signed by more than 2.8 million people and will be built on similar technology and be your boarding pass to government.’

 

However, the response insists that failure to have a digital ID card will not be a criminal offence and that the police will not be able to demand people produce one.

Starmer’s digital ID cards will not stop the boats, says Calais chief

Xavier Bertrand hits out at ‘hypocrites on the other side of the Channel’

 

Sir Keir Starmer’s digital ID card plan “will not resolve” illegal Channel crossings, the head of the Calais region has claimed.

 

Xavier Bertrand, the president of the Hauts-de-France region, also said the “one in, one out” migrant swap scheme agreed between the UK and France risked exacerbating the small boats crisis by creating both illegal and legal ways to make the crossing.

 

Sir Keir announced plans for mandatory digital IDs last month. Everyone in Britain will be given a code that will prove their identity by the summer of 2029. The cards will initially be used only to prove a person’s right to work in the UK.

 

On Wednesday night the plan was expanded so it could be used to access tax records.

 

Mr Bertrand, of the Right-wing Republicans party, said: “The British tell us, ‘we’re going to change things, we’re going to tighten the regulations’. I’ve been hearing that for 10 years.

 

They say, ‘but tomorrow, we’re going to ask for ID cards.’ Well, it’s going to take a century just to get that in place. And in the meantime, it doesn’t solve our problem. And what’s happening? Nothing.

 

Because they’re hypocrites on the other side of the Channel. They have cheap labour that they exploit.”

 

Asked to elaborate by The Telegraph, an aide of Mr Bertrand said: “The ID system won’t be in place until 2029 at the earliest – and what do we do in the meantime?”

 

Pierre-Henri Demont, a former MP for Calais and current deputy secretary general of Mr Bertrand’s party, was less critical of the ID scheme, but he said the jury was out on whether the plan would make the UK less attractive to illegal immigrants.

 

In one way, it’s good news, but we need to see how long it takes to roll out and whether it conforms to the British constitution,” he said. “But it all depends on what they’re going to do with it, because it’s not enough to have an identity card, whether digital or otherwise.

 

The issue is whether checks are carried out and sanctions are taken against those who do not have a valid residence permit in the United Kingdom, and that, for example, an employer cannot employ someone who does not have one.”

 

The ID card proposals have been opposed by both the Tories and Reform UK, as well as civil liberties groups.

 

An online petition that has called the national ID system “a step towards mass surveillance and digital control” has gained 2.8 million signatures – prompting a response from the Government.

 

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said: “We will introduce a digital ID within this Parliament to help tackle illegal migration, make accessing government services easier, and enable wider efficiencies. We will consult on details soon.”

 

Mr Bertrand reiterated a previous call to suspend France’s current borders scheme with the UK, in which British Border Force officials conduct passport checks on French soil and vice versa.

 

The UK has already paid €760m (£659m) to France to secure its border based on the 2018 Sandhurst Treaty, and has pledged to finalise a new three-year funding cycle between 2026 and 2029. A new doctrine for law enforcement at sea to prevent crossings is also set to be deployed soon.

 

We should tell the Border Force, ‘This week, stay at home, we don’t want to see you and we’re going to let everyone through’,” said Mr Bertrand.

 

Then you’ll see what happens: the English will get scared, and in two days they’ll sit down at the table with proposals to change things.

 

Right now, we’re practically forced to beg them to give us part of the cheque they owe us simply because we’re guarding the border for them. That’s enough.”

 

Let the migrants through. My proposal isn’t very clever. But it’s the only one that can change things.”

He said France was indifferent to the fact that “people are dying every week” in the English Channel, adding: “Very clearly, we know who is primarily responsible: the smugglers, the criminals who exploit these networks.

 

The second party responsible is the British. Because there wouldn’t be these deaths, there wouldn’t be hundreds of people trying to cross every week, if they didn’t have jobs in Britain.”

 

Mr Bertrand said he held Britain, along with people-smugglers, responsible for deaths in the Channel because of the UK’s “hypocrisy” over its stance on the black market economy.

 

He said: “The British say, ‘now we’re going to set up a legal immigration channel. That means we’re going to accept them legally and then send them back to France’.”

 

The conservative official, who may run to be the French president in 2027, told the regional newspaper Nord Littoral: “Of course, it can’t work. We’ll just end up having two channels, one illegal and one legal.”

Sir Keir and Emmanuel Macron, the French president, agreed to the one in, one out pilot scheme in July.

 

Under it, Britain deports undocumented people arriving in small boats to France in return for accepting an equal number of migrants with legitimate asylum claims and family connections in the UK.

Digital ID cards could be rolled out to access your 'OWN MONEY' says Keir Starmer in extraordinary admission

 

Keir Starmer admitted that digital ID could be rolled out to access your "own money" as he responded to a question from GB News Political Correspondent Katherine Forster.

Speaking during a press conference in India, Sir Keir highlighted the benefits of the system, citing the example of Estonia, where digital ID has been widely adopted.

 

“I want to be very clear,” he said. “Digital ID has been transformational in other countries.

 

It  allows people to access their own money and make payments far more easily than currently possible.”

 

Sir Keir defended plans for tighter digital ID measures to stop people “working illegally” in the UK.

 

“We have to do something about that,” he said. “We can’t shirk it. The vast majority of people want it gripped.”

 

He added: "We need to make the case for these benefits clearly. There should be a national debate about it.

 

And I think the more people understand the advantages, the more they will see how it can make their lives easier and as has happened in other countries, they will want to adopt it."

 

Katherine also grilled the Prime Minister on his popularity, asking him if he has the "reverse Midas touch" with the British people.

Cooper defends prospect of digital ID for children as young as 13

Yvette Cooper has defended the prospect of digital ID for children as young as 13 amid warnings of “state overreach,” saying many teenagers already use similar forms of identification.

 

The Foreign Secretary insisted the “standardised” system was “the right way forward” as she sought to reassure the public following a wave of opposition to the scope of the proposals.

Cos it would stop all the children working illegally and deter child migrants from coming because they also wouldn't be able to work illegally.
