Keir Starmer’s plan to bring in compulsory digital ID cards might be just the thing to unite the Left and Right – against him

I’m only accepting a Brit Card if, when asked to produce it, you open the app and hear @rootsmanuva say “Witness the Britness”

Anyone who supports ID cards on the grounds that “if you’ve got nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about” should be banned from having curtains. pic.twitter.com/be60Q9AmT9

Far right: What do we want? To control migration
Govt: We will bring in ID cards then.
Far right: Oh no, we don’t want that it might work. pic.twitter.com/GZIFJsTnVm

Digital ID cards may be a good idea, may not, but calling them 'Brit Cards' smacks of faux populism, faux Farage, the communicators at No10 do not seem to understand the dangers of toytown language.

Those that don’t want ID cards should be allowed to use their RSPB membership cards as they were all obsessed with swans yesterday ♀️ pic.twitter.com/fNVFFnpfSZ

I don't really oppose digital ID cards but I predict UK gov are going to screw this up massively by trying to oversell it. Calling it a Brit card is only going to be the start.

I presume professional deportee & paid racist Tommy Robinson has thrown away his passport, chucked his smart phone in the river, and is only paying for goods and services in cash
If you claim to be concerned about immigration yet oppose a basic digital ID

Is it OK if I colour all the white and blue bits on my Britcard red? pic.twitter.com/tJHiDYnTre

I'm sure the name 'Brit Card' will go down well in Northern Ireland. pic.twitter.com/nDyUFcG7Qx

Bloody hell. The Left and the Right are uniting against Starmer’s forthcoming dystopian nightmare.

I remember when we joked all Starmer will do is a New Labour speed-run.
I can’t believe how accurate that actually was; we’re deep in the worst days of Blair and it’s barely one year in office. pic.twitter.com/MPuaS23dnY

This doesn’t go far enough. I think we should all be chipped like cats and @PalantirTech should get the contract. https://t.co/KBlhpCdgjS

We’ll just leave this here.
If Keir Starmer can announce compulsory Digital ID (#BritCard) without a manifesto pledge, we can rejoin the European Union without a manifesto pledge.
