The most obvious problem with digital ID is why do they think it’ll work any better than a national insurance number? Also, only people working for an employer will be required to have it, so not all the eligible UK adult population, unlike NIN? Expensive option for a system that already exists

Is it that the police need training in what counts as terrorism? Or that the government really meant to outlaw support for international law and any criticism of the #genocide Israel is inflicting on Gaza?

Am I hearing this correctly - Israel want to force the remaining Palestinian population into one smaller area - Rafah. They will not be able to leave that area 😟 Sounds like a prison to me?

(1/2) With a heavy heart, I have written to the Prime Minister to tender my resignation as a whip. Whilst I will continue to support the government in delivering the change the country so desperately needs, I cannot vote in favour of the proposed reforms to disability benefits.

We shouldn’t live in a society where people have to rely on social security and charity but the way to fix that isn’t just to take the safety net away from people. Remove those barriers first and understand some people will need a safety net
