The UK government has been extremely deceptive in the way it has presented digital identity to the public. For those struggling to wrap their heads around what digital identity really is, this is an excellent explanation by @OracleFilmsUK .

I’m observing a big semantics problem in the Digital ID discussion. Hopefully this post can provide some clarity. As I see it: Digital IDENTIFICATION is the digitised equivalent of physical identification - anything which you currently use to identify yourself; such as a…

Why can’t we have the kinds of utopian policies they have in your favourite very wealthy tax haven microstate? Have you ever thought about that?

The same swivel-eyed detractors who once sneered at the NHS are now sneering at universal public services. We shouldn’t settle for crumbs from capitalism’s table; we deserve the good life. And if free public transport is good enough for their favourite tax-haven, Luxembourg,…

To be fair, this is the level of economic literacy that you'd expect from a man who thought he could induce breast enlargement with hypnotherapy.

Can't believe I'm saying this because the dude's a Labour MP, but this is quite a good video and yes, we're fucked. So are a lot of countries.

A Google engineer went viral recently for explaining that Google won’t build this and how it’s good actually because it would reinforce “structural inequities” when the app inevitably ends up routing you away from shitty neighborhoods.

need an app where you pick point A, point B, give it a time limit, and it generates the nicest possible walk between them

After Charlie Kirk was murdered, BlueSky had to an issue a warning to users not to glorify or celebrate "violence or harm" the response was so ghoulish. Will Labour and the Center for Countering Digital Hate censorship campaign group be calling for OfCom action against BlueSky?

Society turned on the unvaccinated as soon as authority figures and celebrities told them to do so. Yet the average age of death from Covid was 83 (with four comorbidities) and the vaccines never prevented infection or spread. The discrimination was unethical and illogical.

Britain’s welfare state, originally intended as a reward for soldiers, sailors and airmen who had fought a gruelling six-year war at enormous cost, is now a vast machinery designed to extract money from the native population and give it to foreigners.

Nearly 500 immigrants a day are now signing up for welfare benefits in Britain (new figures, today) We need a national welfare state, not an international welfare state Only Reform will give you that

'Everyone can see lockdown destroyed Britain for a generation. We should have had more of it". Only Official Britain could have come up with this balderdash and spent hundreds of millions of our pounds in the process.

You never challenged the establishment at the time, Piers. You championed their extreme talking points, especially against the unvaccinated.

The devastating Covid report confirms what many of us said at the time: when challenged by the worst global health emergency in 100yrs, Britain was led by a bunch of clueless, incompetent, complacent clods whose appalling decision-making cost 1000s of lives. Shame on them all.

Fact check: not locking down at all (like Sweden) would have saved lives in the UK. Hard to believe how much money the UK spent on its sham covid inquiry.

Hard to believe how much money the UK spent on its sham covid inquiry.

'The failure to lockdown earlier may have cost lives.' Baroness Hallett, chair of the COVID-19 Inquiry says, 'had the lockdown been imposed one week earlier, the evidence suggests that the number of deaths in England alone in the first wave would have been reduced'
