It was a genuine answer too.
And a very detailed one, even though all the information needed to answer your question was *in my original reply*...

Exactly.

I'm actually *against* the introduction of Digital ID, but I'm even more against deliberate Disinformation campaigns by the Media...

I told you what the Government spkesman said.
That was *all* that was said.
*Nothing else* has been said.

The whole story has been blown up over nothing, & the Public Consultation (which will decide what will happen & what ID might be used for) hasn't even been launched yet!

We don't even know that yet, Warren.
It will all be decided after a Public Consultation, to be launched shortly - which has always been the plan, & which was made clear (again) by the Government spokesman today.

What has confused you?
Seeing what the Government spokesman *actually said*?

Seems very clear, to me.

There was nothing said, implied or hinted about "cancelling Digital ID".

Note:
Starmer hasn't posted on X since the morning of 8th January, 5 days ago.

Found you now, Robin, following your hints on X

Yes, its understandable.
And a rug is a lot easier to forgive/clean than the Goosedown Duvet (on the bed!) my cat chose under similar circumstances, some years ago...

😂🤦‍♂️

My advice is to check the corner of the bathroom behind the laundry basket, or inside a wardrobe door...

Cats are all well aware of the dark corners we don't check frequently.

And I didn't get a clip of the Tory repsonse - but here is part of the response to that from Liz Kendall and also the start of the question from Science Select Committee Chair @chionwurah.bsky.social - which together give you all you need to know about the Tory response.
