Although this might look like a win, Burnham was the architect of the 2005 ID Card policy. Maybe he’s learned from past mistakes? Maybe not.

Burnham is deceiving British people with the fact that he will not abolish the Digital ID 🆔 especially since he is in cohort with Blair and especially since he is the architect of the 2005 ID card policy. He is just going to rebrand it as something else.

This is not a turn! Burnham is a Fabian! That means slow creep forward regardless of what they say! It is going ahead! Do not believe them. They lie time and time again

It only looks like a win to an uninformed idiot who reads the headlines only

And what about the ID's they have already implemented like the NHS appointment app?

Still have to prove age on social media sites though, so the backdoor remains

He's gonna repackage it. Nothing will change other than the name. We desperately need a GE to put an end to this and everything else Labour and the Tories have touched.

Aparently moved the project from science to media department. That’s a typical hide instead of abolishing the Digital ID program

He's just renaming it, not scrapping digital ID at all.
