Maybe Starmer is just a bit out of touch. For a long time he has tried to be a sensible centrist politician right? So I think he sees digital ID as a centrist way to reduce rates of illegal migrants working in the UK, while not bringing in draconian anti-immigration measures which might upset his MPs.
The Labour conference might be interesting. Maybe we will see some Labour figures calling for big changes to how Number 10 is behaving. I guess they want to see a government that doesn’t try to navigate a centrist path, but instead is more boldly leftist and progressive.
