"Our privacy is sacrosanct... we must have that in the digital arena where we have our privacy, freedom and the ability to carry on without the danger of a biometric surveillance state"

Alan Miller outside Labour Party Conference

We’re not against technology, it’s made our lives better, and we want it to empower us, but we don’t want it used to control or exploit us

That’s why we need a 'Digital Bill of Rights'

DEMOCRACY: "We must hold those in councils and MPs accountable and keep pushing (for freedom)" (Alan Miller)

Stronger #together

How voluntary is digital identity if the alternative is PAYING not to use it?

Up to 8 million company directors and business owners are affected by new Companies House identity checks

The Government's "free" route pushes people towards GOV UK One Login - the only way to avoid it means using, and potentially paying, an authorised intermediary

Company Directors are the canaries in the coal mine, showing why we need a statutory non-digital guarantee:

People must always have a free, genuinely equivalent alternative to government digital identity - without penalty, extra cost or poorer service

Minister Lisa Nandy says the Govt plans new law requiring major tech companies to build government-mandated “protections” directly into phones and tablets

So how will people use the internet without surrendering their identity information?

We don’t want to ID the internet - and we don't want our personal devices turned into government-controlled checkpoints

NET ZERO: "Sadiq Khan is not stopping in his crusade against wood burners!" (Dr Renee Hoenderkamp)

Khan chairs C40 Cities - bankrolled by US billionare Mike Bloomberg - which works through city mayors to advance far-reaching Net Zero policies

This allows policies never clearly put to voters in a national manifesto to spread from city to city, often without proper public debate or parliamentary scrutiny

A “social media ban for children” ultimately risks ID checks for all of us before we can speak online

Parents already have tools to protect their children. Children do not buy smartphones for themselves

Adults choose to provide devices and decide how they are used

If a parent wants parental controls, they can enable them today

There is nothing safe about a society where ordinary people must be identified, monitored, and recorded simply to participate

'Andy Burnham' 'Lisa Nandy' you have NO MANDATE for this "ban" and ushering us towards ID checks to get online

NET ZERO: Sadiq Khan chairs C40 Cities, bankrolled by US billionaire Mike Bloomberg

C40 works through city mayors to push far-reaching Net Zero policies - including measures intended to restrict car use

This allows policies never clearly presented to voters in a national manifesto to spread from city to city, often without proper public debate or parliamentary scrutiny

As Greater Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham signed a major C40 transport declaration

His push to hand even more power to regional mayors must be viewed in that context

Across the country, Together supporters are taking practical action

We've just been in Liverpool outside Labour conference - campaigning to FREEZE One Login, and stop attempts to ID the internet

Be an action-taker - we can influence things #together

“Freedom for Xhaka” - Swiss football fans back their captain amid investigation into allegedly forged Covid jab certificate

As we argued throughout, nobody should ever have had to prove their jab status to participate in everyday life

A digital driving licence on your phone is not the same thing as a compulsory national Digital ID

However, the Government is connecting digital credentials, the GOV UK Wallet and the One Login app - and something much bigger is starting to take shape

It's not just what each part does TODAY - it's what the combined system could become TOMORROW

We must not let these systems evolve into Digital ID in all but name, through expansion, function creep or the loss of offline alternatives

The surest way to stop One Login becoming the only way to interact with the state is to refuse to let it become the default

Wherever a genuine alternative exists, use it - and demand that government protects that choice in law
