🚨BREAKING: Digital ID to be SCRAPPED in the UK.

@AntiRacismDay thugs with face coverings trying to intimidate @lewisrholmes and @RestoreBritain campaigners in Camden again!

NEW: EU Member States must create at least one Digital wallet before the end of 2026. Via @Forbes

Digital ID may be over, but the project that created it is not. The EU may be left, but the ECHR remains to be seen. These issues are not isolated.

Voting right.

That was quick…

This is how the Blairite constitution works to entrench itself, and maintains itself through devolution, outsourcing, and a form of "mandatory centrism" in political speech. 1) Paralysis of parliament through upward and downward outsourcing. You cannot govern, or provide common law solutions, as these things have been outsourced upward to European institutions (EU/ECHR). Simultaneously, the illusion of local government is created by make-believe regional parliaments and councils - this ensures most decisions have no true responsible party. 2) Entrenchment via devolution. You cannot leave the European institutions fully, as the creation of devolved entities, and nature of the GFA, provide leverage. The invented devolved arrangement creates a direct & parasitic relationship between the Celtic nations and the EU/ECHR, who now consider these essential for their continued existence. 3) Entrenchment via regulation of political speech. When it comes to the region where the population actually lives (England) you cannot address the real issues domestically (demographic terraformation), as you will be branded a criminal, rendered unemployed and forced into the welfare system after your savings are exhausted. Blairite centrism becomes the sole acceptable form of political expression, with all parties emulating it. Regulation of communications and individuals ensures that the press and professionals are obliged to suggest the arrangement is good, in fear of professional ruination or Ofcom penalty. I wrote extensively about this here several years ago, in @ReinersProject. Ending this situation forms the basis of my legislative project: reiners.org.uk/england-is-un…

Dougie Smith & Rishu Sunak The Conservatives went from a comfortable majority in 2019 to their worst defeat in the party's history in July 2024, reduced to 121 seats. Critics point to a string of self-inflicted wounds during the campaign itself. There was poor party management and communication, capped by the D-Day debacle when Sunak left Normandy early while Keir Starmer met the King and Zelenskyy. The party also struggled with a betting scandal, in which a Conservative candidate and Sunak's own Parliamentary Private Secretary placed bets on the election date days before it was announced, and Sunak's chief of staff was questioned by the Gambling Commission. The party was forced to withdraw support from candidates over it mid-campaign. For critics, this pattern, calling a snap election few in his own party wanted, then running a campaign marked by embarrassing unforced errors, sits squarely at Sunak's door. But Dougie Smith undoubtedly was a major contributor to the Conservative debacle. The case against him is about opacity and unaccountable power rather than any single scandal. He operated as a fixture across four Conservative premierships despite an unclear formal role. The Telegraph noted that his precise position was uncertain even while he served as a senior aide to Cameron, May, and Johnson. He has long been reported as central to candidate vetting, with critics saying no one was selected as a Tory candidate for the 2019 election without their name going before him despite sitting outside normal lines of accountability. Truss sacked him, then Sunak brought him back, prompting one ally of Truss's to call it ‘unforgivable,’ and Smith ‘one of the worst people’ they had worked with. Nadine Dorries's book pushed this further, alleging he exercised something close to ‘total control’ in Downing Street, and more recently she has claimed MPs were ‘genuinely scared’ of him and that he continued to draw a salary of roughly £100k a year from CCHQ, with continued involvement in leadership contests behind the scenes even after the Tory defeat. Put together, the combination of a leader who presided over the party's worst electoral rout, compounded by a self-inflicted gambling scandal and a chaotic campaign, who retained and empowered a bullying enforcer whose long-standing influence over candidate selection and party machinery was opaque, unaccountable, and actively corrosive to the party's talent pipeline and internal trust. It remains uncertain whether the Tories can ever recover from the damage inflicted by Sunak and Smith.”

Lib Dem peers are introducing private members bills designed to create licensing requirements to operate "a social media platform", showing (again) an entry-level understanding of the internet from legislators. ..Meanwhile, the @ASI Freedom of Speech Bill (link below) is considered too outlandish and beyond the pale to be introduced as a PMB? The Speech Bill, co-authored by myself, @prestonjbyrne and @legalstyleblog : adamsmith.org/research/the-f…

I have a better idea. Now if only we could find a single member of the House of Lords willing to introduce it. adamsmith.org/research/the-f…

Britain's entire population is forced to speak in cunning alternative heuristics on a permanent basis. That is why the Freedom of Speech Bill (2026) (from @ASI) is so essential. It liberates the British people from state-mandated insincerity. Here: adamsmith.org/research/the-f…

Gonna have to repeal more than that. adamsmith.org/research/the-f…
