A Tory MP came out against the digital ID plans by claiming ‘I am not a tin of beans’ – 17 saucy replies
The shadow farming minister and Tory MP for Keighley and Ilkley, Robbie Moore, is not a fan of the new proposals for mandatory digital ID.
He turned to Twitter to express his disapproval in a uniquely English (and wonderfully bizarre) fashion.
Let’s have a look.
I am not a tin of beans.
I do not need a barcode.
I will not be supporting plans for mandatory digital ID.#DigitalID

His refusal to identify as a can of legumes generated some brilliantly funny replies.

Just on a slight side note, if you were a tin of beans what brand would you be?

You’ve got a verified Twitter account with details held by unaccountable Elon Musk.
No, you’re not a tin of beans,
but your brains are mushy peas.— Louise (@CharlotDearling) September 26, 2025
