Keir Starmer warned Digital ID plans ‘dead in the water’ as millions sign petition

Keir Starmer’s plans for mandatory digital ID cards face growing backlash. Over 2.5 million people have signed a petition rejecting the scheme, warning it threatens civil liberties and could pave the way to a social credit system.

Labour MP Alex Ballinger defended the policy at the Labour Party Conference, arguing digital ID would simplify banking, housing, and government services while making it harder to work illegally in the UK.

Critics, however, say the British public will never accept it — with opposition spanning political parties and age groups.
