I'm sure our Biometric data is perfectly safe , it's not like there have been any major data leaks from government sources ... Oh wait ....
Starmer's puppet master Tony Blair's mandatory ID scheme will have to go through both chambers of Parliament and could face opposition from Labour MPs and piers , Reform, the Tories and Lib Dems are against.
The cost of setting this up will be eyewatering at a time where our finances are at breaking point thanks to idiotic mistakes made by Rachel from accounts , more waste from a waste of space PM.
Quote:The UK government is facing mounting scrutiny after finally releasing a long-delayed review into 11 major public sector data breaches, nearly two years after the report was completed.
The review, commissioned in 2023 following the exposure of personal details of around 10,000 Police Service of Northern Ireland officers, examined high-profile breaches across HMRC, the Metropolitan Police, the Ministry of Defence and the benefits system. It also included cases where the data of Afghan nationals who worked with the British military, victims of child sexual abuse and thousands of disability claimants were compromised.
The Cabinet Office investigation uncovered a series of recurring weaknesses in how sensitive data is handled across Whitehall and other departments. One of the most significant failings was the lack of adequate controls over ad hoc downloads and bulk exports of sensitive information, leaving personal records vulnerable to error or misuse.

Quote:Kemi Badenoch: "This announcement is a desperate gimmick that will do nothing to stop the boats. There are arguments for and against digital ID, but mandating its use would be a very serious step that requires a proper national debate. Instead, this is a throwaway conference announcement designed to distract attention from Andy Burnham’s leadership maneuverings and the crisis in Downing Street over the Prime Minister’s Chief of Staff"
Lib Dems: "Liberal Democrats cannot support a mandatory digital ID where people are forced to turn over their private data just to go about their daily lives. People shouldn’t be turned into criminals just because they can’t have a digital ID, or choose not to. This will be especially worrying to millions of older people, people living in poverty and disabled people – who are more likely to be digitally excluded"
Nigel Farage: "I am firmly opposed to Keir Starmer's digital ID cards. It will make no difference to illegal immigration, but it will be used to control and penalise the rest of us. The state should never have this much power"
