Скачать или смотреть Digital ID Under Labour? Lewis Oakley’s Warning on Risks & “Scope Creep”

Lewis Oakley joins GB News Breakfast with Anne Diamond and Stephen Dixon—alongside Emma Woolf—to review the morning papers and react to the Labour government’s plan under Keir Starmer to introduce a digital ID system

Lewis sets out the case against the scheme: risks to privacy, mission drift/scope creep, and how everyday life could shift in a more centralised, trackable direction if this is rolled out.

Recent reports suggest the government is actively considering a digital identification scheme tied to right-to-work/rent checks and wider immigration enforcement, with further details expected around party conference season. Lewis explains why that approach risks creating infrastructure that can be expanded over time—and why proportionate, privacy-preserving alternatives matter.
