When the govt threatens to "keep us all safe" we know what that means!

Censorship and surveillance if the track record is anything to go by

Meanwhile criminals released early 'Andy Burnham'

TONY BLAIR: "These people want total control"

Maajid’s extraordinary journey has taken him from Islamist activism and four years’ imprisonment in Egypt to becoming a prominent advocate for free speech, civil liberties and democratic values

The co-founder of counter-extremism think tank Quilliam and a former LBC presenter, Maajid is the author of Radical: My Journey Out of Islamist Extremism. Today, through his independent platform Radical Media, he writes and broadcasts on Islam, censorship, institutional failure, geopolitics and threats to democratic freedom

VACCINE DAMAGE PAYMENT SCHEME:

"My wife was left disabled by the Covid jab, she deserved more compensation"

The Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme actually doesn't provide compensation per se - and it's certainly "not fit for purpose"

"Papers Please" to get online?

We say NO! 'Andy Burnham'

Social media platforms already know an extraordinary amount about their users

They can already use AI to infer whether someone is a child or teenager to a high degree of accuracy

Before putting millions of adults through an ID checkpoint to access social media, the Government and the platforms should have to explain why the information they already have isn't enough - and how requiring every single user to prove their age using government-issued ID can possibly be:

- Necessary
- Proportionate
- Or indeed safe in itself - given databases are compromised ALL THE TIME

DIGITAL ID PLEDGE:

"I don't want there to be a universal log in where the government can just 'switch you off'"

- Decentra Suze

The national Digital ID proposal was defeated - but the risk of digital control has not gone away

One Login, the GOV UK App and Wallet, digital credentials and identity checks could still grow into Digital ID in all but name

That is why The Pledge still matters

It is a simple but serious commitment to refuse Digital ID - whatever name it is given.

Why did the Government shut down its own independent privacy watchdog for One Login?

In 2025, the Government disbanded OLIPAG - a 20 member group of independent experts tasked with scrutinising One Login's privacy, data use and accessibility.

A replacement was reportedly "planned" - but more than 19 months later, there's still no publicly identifiable successor.

Meanwhile, One Login continues expanding across 250+ government services and millions of people.

Why was independent scrutiny removed - and why hasn't it been restored?

ONE LOGIN: "Tony Blair wants to build upon One Login"

- Andrew Orlowski

Govt digital identify system One Login has quietly expanded across 250+ government services - with more planned

We say: FREEZE ONE LOGIN - expansion must not continue without proper parliamentary scrutiny and safeguards for privacy and civil liberties

Why is a system of this significance being allowed to scale to millions of people without full public debate & scrutiny?

You have no mandate to turn social media into ID checkpoint for all

🚨 Should you have to show your PASSPORT just to use social media?

The Government is reportedly considering ID checks FOR ALL to enforce their so-called “under-16 ban.”

🔁 SHARE!

If you’re interested in social media that is harder to censor, take a look at Nostr.

Unlike Facebook or X, Nostr is not owned or controlled by one company. You control your identity, and your posts can be shared through many independent servers.

If one server blocks you or shuts down, you can simply use another - without losing your identity or followers.

It’s a simple idea that could have huge implications for freedom online: https://nostr.how/en/get-started

"Papers Please" to get online?

Andy Burnham didn't even fight a leadership contest, never mind a general election

He has NO MANDATE to push a massive intrusion that never featured in Labour's manifesto either

Stand #together, this attack on privacy, anonymity and ultimately speech affects us all

ONE LOGIN: "Creating a kind of shadow Digital ID" (Samiksha)

Public opposition stopped the Government’s proposed national Digital ID scheme.

But GOV UK One Login continues to expand across 250+ government functions – including obligations people must fulfil, rather than merely optional “services”.

We are calling for an immediate freeze on further expansion, a proper independent review and a legal guarantee that nobody will be forced – or financially pressured – to use it.

It's appalling the government is considering forcing us to "show our papers" - passports or other ID - just to use social media.

The public has just rejected “Papers Please” Digital IDs. Now Andy Burnham - who never stood in a leadership contest, never mind a general election, and whose idea appeared in no manifesto - is pushing another extreme proposal.

42 children's safety organisations including the NSPCC oppose a so-called "social media ban", pointing out it could make things worse.

In any case supposed child safety is no blank cheque to destroy privacy and anonymity for all. Platforms already know vast amounts about users and already use AI to infer age.

Before forcing millions of adults through ID checkpoints, the government and platforms must explain why the data they already hold isn’t enough - and how being forced to upload government-issued ID could ever be necessary, proportionate, or indeed safe in itself.

Parents, not politicians, should decide for their children. Law-abiding adults should not have to prove their identity and risk data hacks of their highly sensitive information simply to use social media.

NET ZERO: C40 Cities, bankrolled by US billionaire Mike Bloomberg, works through city mayors to advance far-reaching Net Zero policies - including measures designed to restrict car use.

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.

Andy Burnham signed a major C40 transport declaration as Greater Manchester Mayor.

His drive to transfer even more power to regional mayors should be examined in that context
