The first two reasons feel very reasonable to explore. The third less so but possible. A real pity that the way this was announced was another indication that the PM and his 'advisors' don't have much of a clue.

This whole thing has been a case study in how not to do it. But still, I'm sure this incredibly complex project will definitely work.

Government statement to MPs on digital ID yesterday evening. "Tackling illegal immigration" carefully positioned as the third of three reasons to do it, and even then "not a silver bullet" hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025...

Enjoyed it, though he needs to be a bit less shouty and let messages hit home. The lady from the Torygraph didn't look to want a chat afterwards :--)

PM Keir Starmer now has an opportunity to take the politics out of it and end this injustice

Another reason why the MSM, particularly the 24 hour news channels, are failing us; why aren't they leading that next to zero deportations have been stopped by use of the ECHR?

THE SHOCKING IPP SCANDAL is one of the most cruel, inhumane and monumental injustices of the past half-century. So why has this government allowed it to continue?

Especially Labour. I don't understand how you can be a Labour politician and not make this argument, otherwise what is the point of being a Labour politician.

She had an opportunity to demonstrate that the reshuffle would be a change of direction; not only blew it but signaled change in the wrong direction

Steve Forecast @backfour94.bsky.social · Sep 8

Yes but it is the headlines that drive the gloom, and the government has got it wrong on nearly all, meaning that it is easy prey to those that can't let it succeed

Steve Forecast @backfour94.bsky.social · Sep 5

I do think that a general review of MPs houses would be in order

Always better to leave with dignity if you want to come back.

Pity participation in racist demonstrations isn't against the ministerial code.
