Biometric passports exist already, so what's the problem?

FAFO.

I don't have a strong opinion on this. Interested to see the arguments for and against.

Think you need to be a bit more specific about
1. What you mean by Digital ID
2. How it will work
3. What safeguards there will be etc

This has been a pet plan of Blair since he was in power.

They reckon Starmer is making the announcement very soon.

Won't work, political suicide given Starmers precarious situation

Its a step for full financial, social control. If you say or do anything wrong, the government in a press of a key, destroy your very existence.
Locked out of your bank account, access to services, travel limited by locking passport.


Don't say it not on the agenda, it may not now, but once you've got a large proportion of the country signed up-too late

Just like Trump in the US then, although he doesn’t even bother with the ID card.

Are you suggesting that the UK Government becomes as efficient as Amazon? Can't see it myself. 😂

If only they could even attempt to be efficient

Im suggesting they will collect all your data, get hacked, sell it to other bodies.

Then when things get awkward use it as a weapon to control people
