Please could you save children from an increasingly authoritarian govt and lobby to halt the digital ID cards. I’m astonished that Labour are suggesting a mandatory attack on privacy - it wasn’t even in the manifesto I voted for!

Perhaps conference attendees could sign this and lobby to halt the “mandatory” digital ID cards. How could Labour be so authoritarian. I’m disappointed, again.

Perhaps conference attendees could lobby to halt the “mandatory” digital ID cards. Labour appears to be increasingly authoritarian … bitterly disappointing.

Liberal Democrats cannot support mandatory digital IDs. People shouldn't be criminalised just because they don't want to hand over their private data.

“Liberal Democrats cannot support a mandatory digital ID where people are forced to turn over their private data just to go about their daily lives... People shouldn’t be turned into criminals just because they can’t have a digital ID, or choose not to.” — Victoria Collins, Liberal Democrat Science, Innovation and Technology Spokesperson.

He also mentioned a Netanyahu plan to annexe part of northern Gaza - approved by the US. Presumably a first step towards Trump’s Riviera.

And Donald Trump watches, rubbing his greedy hands with glee and imagining Gaza as ‘his riviera’ - built on the bodies of dead babies. #inhuman #immoral

Israel has launched substantial air raids and a ground operation in Gaza, targeting Deir al-Balah, the main hub for humanitarian efforts in the devastated Palestinian territory, amid urgent warnings of widening starvation in the coastal strip.
