Keir Starmer dresses himself up as a safe pair of hands. But his digital ID scheme shows his true face: a weak, authoritarian stooge dancing to the Daily Mail’s tune.
He claims it will stop “boat people.” Nonsense.
The majority crossing the Channel are genuine refugees - Syrians, Afghans, Eritreans with asylum success rates as high as 99%.
Starmer knows this, yet still scapegoats the vulnerable to look “tough.”
What will digital ID really do?
It will turn Britain into a surveillance state where people of colour and migrants are harassed, stopped, and forced to prove their right to exist.
It’s not about security. It’s about institutionalising racism.
Starmer isn’t protecting Britain.
He’s protecting his headlines.
He isn’t standing up to right-wing media.
He’s taking dictation from them.
This isn’t leadership. It’s cowardice.
It exposes Starmer for what he really is: a hollow opportunist willing to trade freedom for fear.
