Starmer’s digital ID: Here’s how it has unfolded


Starmer’s digital ID: Here’s how it has unfolded:


The following are reports relating to what has led “Sir” Keir Starmer to feel emboldened to impose digital IDs in the UK against the will of the people.  People will not be surprised that Starmer is attempting to hoodwink the public using the excuse of uncontrolled illegal immigration.

It is the Hegelian dialectic: Problem-Reaction-Solution.  They create a problem to generate a public reaction and then provide a pre-planned solution that achieves a desired outcome, which would have been difficult to implement without the preceding psychological conditioning.   It is all according to a plan they had from the outset.  What is their plan?  Social control.


The following is from various sources over time.  To read the full article, follow the hyperlink contained in the section title.


21 September 2025: On 20 September, Keir Starmer faced a fierce backlash over plans to announce compulsory digital ID cards for all British residents – something which even his own MPs have described as an “utter, dystopian disaster.”

The Prime Minister was said to have come up with the idea because he was ‘desperately thrashing around’ to find a solution to the small boats crisis.

The plans, which according to the Financial Times could be announced at Labour’s annual conference which gets underway in Liverpool next weekend, would see digital IDs being given to all people legally entitled to reside in Britain.

They would then be used for employment verification and rental agreements.

22 September 2025: In a bold move shaking Britain’s privacy landscape, Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed on 4 September 2025 that the government eyes a digital ID scheme to curb illegal immigration, reigniting fierce debates over civil liberties and surveillance.

Dubbed ‘BritCard’ by advocates, this 2025 digital ID initiative promises streamlined verification for work and services but sparks fears of mandatory tracking in everyday life.


22 September 2025: Labour is exploiting concerns about illegal immigration to foist yet more surveillance on law-abiding citizens.

Keir Starmer announced earlier this month that the government is considering introducing digital IDs in order to curb illegal immigration. Speaking to the BBC earlier this month, Starmer said that the introduction of a digital-ID scheme could make the UK less attractive to those entering illegally. [Is he having a laugh?]

There is simply no evidence that digital IDs would stem the flow of illegal immigration into the UK. After all, Germany, France and Spain already have ID cards, yet all three countries struggle with illegal immigration on an arguably greater scale than the UK.

Digital IDs have long been an obsession of our technocratic elites. They were pushed most zealously during the 2000s by former Labour prime minister Tony Blair, who continues to advocate for them through the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. So perhaps it’s no surprise that Starmer, Blair’s technocratic heir, is now leading the charge.


A vital new report published by Big Brother Watch.  It warns of the serious privacy and security risks associated with mandatory digital ID and includes independent YouGov polling.

Our groundbreaking new report, Checkpoint Britain: the dangers of digital ID and why privacy must be protected is a timely response to the Government seeming to be on the brink of forcing every UK adult onto a giant digital ID system – all in the name of tackling illegal immigration.

Let us be clear – no one voted for a digital ID scheme and the government has no clear mandate to implement one.

The vital new report examines how mandatory digital ID would turn the UK into the kind of “papers, please” society that the British public has persistently rejected for decades. It lays out in detail how a digital ID system could work, how the government could mandate it for a range of public services, and the devastating impact it would have on privacy and civil liberties.

It also includes original independent polling we’ve commissioned showing that the clear majority of the British public (63%) does not trust the government to keep their digital ID data secure.
