Keir Starmer is point blank lying to the public when he says Digital ID will not track the lives of Brits, this statement is the polar opposite of what Silicon Valley wants, there is no way that Starmer is pushing Digital ID for benign reasons.

What could go wrong in surveillance society?

Pisses me off seeing working people arguing against a wealth tax on those worth £10+ million.

"But they've already paid tax!" Really? They don't pay PAYE!
"But they'll leave the UK!" They can't take factories with them!

Streeting rules out VAT on private healthcare.

Govt levies VAT on private school fees. Why not on healthcare? Billions can be raised.

Private sector freeloads on NHS trained staff, doesn't pay for training. Makes excessive profits from NHS contracts.
