Next time Tommeh gets arrested they should play it on repeat in his cell.

That would be perfect!

I was only thinking that, if options are still open, that could be a reason not to use it as an argument.

Have you seen/used One Login?
That’s what they are doing. In house.
It works.

There is an easy explanation about why the popularity of digital ID fell following the police announcement: disinformation.

So much disinformation was immediately shared, even by many usually sensible people.

The government digital ID is an app for OneLogin. 🤷
It’s about as authoritarian as a Lidl card.
Presenting it as they did, as part of a ‘crackdown’ on illegal work, was very poor comms.
But all the demented conspiracy theory that spread on social media was what really worried people unnecessarily

The idea that you *have to* have it on your phone tickles me.

It’s an app.

Download it if you find it useful; don’t bother if not.

Just don’t download it 🤷

There will be NO requirement to have the digital ID on you at any point.

The ONLY mandatory element to it is use it within a Right to Work check.

Possibly they are still considering getting rid of photo ID at polls altogether?

Then you don’t have to.

It’s an app, available for your use. You know, like a parking app, or a Lidl card.

The Greens are able to challenge Farage because they are nowhere near power, and are led by the media’s new boyfriend.

Some pubs already shut during times when custom is unlikely. Others have the capacity to open longer, and will welcome this.
It isn’t compulsory!

Flaming June @juneussell.bsky.social · 5h

You know they can open whichever hours they choose, don’t you?

The cameras adore him and the media are so in love that they are turning away from ex-boyfriend Farage.
Also, like Farage, having no prospect of power, he’s free to say whatever he likes.

I’m fine with that, but let’s not get overexcited.

Obviously, any other US President would have done it better and sooner but, unfortunately, you do need to have a US President in the mix, and he’s the one we’re stuck with. So yeah 🤷

The advice I give young people on choice of degree programme. Choose something you love. You’ve got the rest of your life to be frustrated and miserable.

There was no decision ‘not to give it to him’.
He wasn’t considered for it, except by social media.
He’s not eligible till next year anyway.
