I'm struggling to think of a worse, more unnecessary hill for any government to choose to die on.
One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start.
It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.
It's actually mind boggling.

BREAKING: I have just submitted an FOI to the Home Office demanding FULL TRANSPARENCY on Palantir’s role in tomorrow’s “Brit Card” mandatory digital ID scheme 🚨
WHY THIS MATTERS: Palantir already has its surveillance tentacles deep in UK infrastructure with 24+ government contracts including:
🏥 NHS - patient data analytics
🛡️ Ministry of Defence - military intelligence
👮 Police Forces - “predictive policing” systems
🏛️ Cabinet Office - cross-govt data platform
🏘️ DLUHC - local authority surveillance
🏛️ Coventry City Council - citizen monitoring
PALANTIR’S TRACK RECORD:
•Built CIA’s tracking systems
•Created NSA mass surveillance tools
•“Predictive policing” = racial profiling algorithms
•Founded by Peter Thiel (Trump mega-donor)
•Profits from border surveillance & deportations
•Turns citizen data into surveillance gold
Given this EXTENSIVE presence across UK institutions, Palantir involvement in Brit Card is not just possible - it’s PROBABLE.
MY FOI DEMANDS ANSWERS ON:
✅ Is Palantir contracted for Brit Card technology?
✅ What’s the contract value & scope?
✅ How will our biometric/personal data be used?
✅ What surveillance capabilities are being built?
✅ Where are the privacy safeguards?
✅ Who else is profiting from this scheme?
⏰ URGENT: Starmer announces this TOMORROW
⏰ Government has 20 days to respond under FOI law
⏰ Every UK adult will be forced onto this database
This isn’t immigration control - it’s INFRASTRUCTURE for a surveillance state.
When the same company tracking CIA targets builds your “ID card” system, you’re not getting documentation - you’re getting MONITORED.

RETWEET TO SOUND THE ALARM
Labour’s plan for compulsory digital ID risks creating a more authoritarian state.
Under constant surveillance, we would have to pass through digital checkpoints just to live our daily lives — with even more barriers for minorities, migrants and the digitally excluded.
Tony Blair tried this 20 years ago. We stopped it then, and we must stop it again.

🚨BREAKING🚨
Keir Starmer to announce Orwellian mandatory digital ID for all UK adults
"Plans for a mandatory digital ID would make us all reliant on a digital pass to go about our daily lives, turning us into a checkpoint society that is wholly unBritish.
Digital IDs would do absolutely nothing to deter small boats but would make Britain less free, creating a domestic mass surveillance infrastructure that will likely sprawl from citizenship to benefits, tax, health, possibly even internet data and more.
Incredibly sensitive information about each and every one of us would be hoarded by the state and vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Starmer has no mandate to force the population to carry digital IDs and millions of us will simply not do it.
The cost to the public purse will likely run into the billions, much like Blair's failed scheme, but the cost to our freedoms would be even more serious.
He is making an enormous mistake and should drop the plans sooner rather than later."

ALT Breaking: Keir Starmer to announce Orwellian mandatory digital ID for all UK adults
The govt has announced a MANDATORY Digital ID card called the "Brit Card" for all adults in the UK on advice of the war criminal Tony Blair, using their manufactured migrant crisis as a pretext.
If you've been duped to think that it was ever about "illegals" or crime, think again! They are trying to build a prison around us, controlled by the big tech firms, hedge funds and private equity that own ALL our common needs - housing, water, energy, schools, health data.
Enough is Enough! We need a campaign of mass refusal!

🎳 What if we refused to pay? 🎳
✉ From the Poll Tax to Don’t Pay, mass refusal has a powerful history in the UK.
Millions have come together to oppose unjust taxes and soaring bills through the act of refusing to pay.

“Sources close to the situation told the BBC that the politicisation of the water industry was a major disincentive for investors to put money into the sector.”

Energy prices will still be 10% higher than last year. Water bills are up 26%.
It's more money in shareholders' pockets, not ours.

35p in every £1 we pay for water is wasted.
Water firms use our cash to service debts and pay dividends – rather than fixing leaks or cleaning up rivers.
Our bills would be cheaper and our rivers cleaner if we weren't paying the price of private ownership.

Thames Water is on the brink of collapse – and will use emergency cash to pay out huge sums in executive bonuses.
Water company bosses are making off with what they can before the whole thing comes crumbling down!

‼️ Water bills will rise to £2,000 a year, according to industry regulator.
After decades of underinvestment, water company bosses want to QUADRUPLE prices by 2050 and make us pay to clean up their mess.
This is our future if we don't act now. Don't pay!

Water company bosses have handed £83 billion to shareholders in the 35 years since privatisation.
For decades, our cash has been diverted away from investment in the water system and into the pockets of private profiteers.
This can't go on.
Don't Pay. retweeted
With millions of people considering not paying their water bills, our potential power is immense.
Water firms' finances already stretched to their limits. If we can get organised and stop paying en masse, we'll put an end to private water for good.
Let's make it happen.

We sent out another 20 orders of leaflets and stickers 📢
Volunteers packed up and posted more than 4,000 leaflets and 1,000 stickers yesterday to people in communities across the country.

We launched our new Community Organisers Network 🤝
100 people joined in only a matter of days, ready to start building Take Back Water in their local communities!
Interested in getting involved? The first step is pledging to strike 👇 takebackwater.uk

We hit 10,000 pledges to strike 💪
That's enough people to withhold half a million pounds from the water firms every month. It's a lot of cash – but we need this number to be way higher to seriously disrupt the industry.
Help us get to 20,000 next 👉 takebackwater.uk

Our rivers and seas are full of sewage – and 1 in 4 people are so sick of it they're ready to stop paying their water bill.
The time for mass non-payment targeting the private water industry is now, so we're organising it.
Here's the latest from our campaign 👇

This is huge – millions of people are thinking about refusing to pay their water bills!
After decades of price hikes, sewage dumping and government failure, it's no wonder so many of us are ready to take matters into our own hands.
