Seeing as my labour MP is still not replying I’ve also emailed Ed Davey. I know that Parliamentary procedures means he can only respond to his constituents I wanted him to know I support their pushing of the agenda and to keep it up.

Feels like the LDs are the only ones willing to

Yep 🤦

After reading what the Dutch Parliament did I wrote off to my MP asking if she’d push for UK tech independence, or at least European.

Still waiting for a reply 🙄

I’d welcome digital IDs, not on the immigration front, but on the convenience of a) having ID accessible without a wallet, and b) not needing to use a passport or driving licence for ID when some people can’t get a driving licence and don’t want to have to carry the passport for buying alcohol for example

While the “Buy British” campaign focuses on physical goods, we must also address our digital independence. The Dutch parliament’s recent steps to reduce reliance on US software highlight the need for greater autonomy in our tech infrastructure. The UK should follow suit, promoting European tech solutions to enhance digital sovereignty and foster domestic innovation. Let’s expand the conversation to include both economic and technological independence. I hope the Lib Dems continue to push this.

That maybe so, but why such an excessive stay? Stick her on a plane, sorted.
