I couldn’t agree with this more. All your personal information coming to a cyber criminal near you…

[Chris Littlewood @chrislittlewoo8]

Digital ID for every adult is not progress. It is the end of a free society dressed up as convenience.

I am a cyber security specialist. This is my take.

They are selling it as a fix for illegal migration. That is bollocks.

We spend hundreds of billions a year on cyber security and yet the volume of breaches is breaking records. The threat is growing faster than the spend.

Digital ID will not stop boats. It will not stop trafficking gangs. It will not fix a broken border.

Criminals will work around it.

Honest citizens will pay the price.

It builds giant data banks that track where you go, what you buy, what you read and who you speak to.

It links your identity to every checkpoint in daily life.

One breach and your life is exposed.

Look at Jaguar Land Rover and the airports in recent weeks. Now imagine that at national scale on an ID system tied to everything you need to live your daily life.

Here is the risk that ministers will not admit.

Ransomware seeded through a supplier or an insider:

It lies quiet for months.
It rolls through the backups.
On trigger day the register and the recovery sets are both encrypted.

Payments fail. Health and benefits stall. Borders slow. Citizens are frozen out until a ransom is paid or the state rebuilds from scratch.

Centralise identity and you centralise failure.

Do not fall for the pitch.
Function creep is certain.
It starts as login.

It becomes access to money, travel, speech and public services.

It turns rights into permissions controlled by the state and its contractors.

It creates a single point of failure for criminals, insiders and hostile states to target.

It will punish the elderly, the poor and anyone who is not always online.

It will centralise risk and outsource blame.

It will not stop fraud.

It will not stop illegal migration.

It will build the machinery for a social credit system by stealth.

If ministers cared about the border, they would enforce current laws, resource patrols and processing, close loopholes and remove those with no right to stay.

You do not need a national ID to do any of that.

We scrapped ID cards in 2010 for a reason.

Britain does not need a central register to prove age or status.

Yes to privacy first proofs. No to a database state.

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

Kier’s first keynote speech of the election. For me it’s reasoned, well delivered and succinct.

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

@_jzmne1 She didn’t win because of her final decision. Why would Jaz have forced another vote if he was a traitor? That alone should have made her vote to banish Harry.

@PolaRooS I love this album x

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

If this lady doesn’t get into government there is something extremely wrong with this country!

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

Never before have I had to respond to a Govt statement, while the Minister in charge of the policy was busy resigning. Britain deserves better than this Tory mess.

My response to the total chaos in the Tory party & the complete collapse in Sunak leadership 👇👇 1/4

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

And so,The Blades, go again!

[Sheffield United @SheffieldUnited]

Chris Wilder is the new manager of Sheffield United.

Former Blades favourite Wilder returns on a contract until the summer of 2025. Alan Knill, Matt Prestridge and former Republic of Ireland international Keith Andrews will assist Wilder.

£38,000 is the new threshold that a person needs to earn to immigrate here. Absolutely devastating. How many of us are going to have to say goodbye to friends when their Visas won't be passed on renewal? Not to mention the complete collapse of the NHS. Tories killing the UK.

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

The points raised in this article is exactly the conversations we should be having about electric vehicles, in my opinion! https://t.co/FWkFgt1a18

@ThePipsteroo @SuellaBraverman She is just a vile individual. Hateful.

On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.

None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.

The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.

Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.

A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.

On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.

On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:

"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".

On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.

There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.

Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.

A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.

He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.

The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.

It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...

THIS is the reason we wear poppies.

We do not glorify war.

We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.

Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Well said @PatricKielty … someone who knows a lot about the pain of terrorism and the hatred it breeds.

[Carol Vorderman @carolvorders]

Today's Tory Calamities Shortlist by lunchtime

Steve Barclay - offering junior doctors and consultants what is in effect a pay cut once inflation over the time of strike action is taken into account. Plenty of Tory money for private health care companies tho!!!

Gillian Keegan....number of RAAC schools now up to 174. She's not worthy of looking after our children

Freedom of speech? Woman who held up a sign outside Inner London crown court to protest about climate change is to be prosecuted for contempt of court by Michael Tomlinson KC, a Tory minister & MP for Mid Dorset & North Poole

Home Office...Brook House Detention Centre inquiry finds breaks of Human Rights and appalling treatment of refugees inc Forcibly moving detainees while naked or near naked

Economy.... Average UK homebuyer needs almost 26 months of earnings in order to cover the cost of a 20% mortgage deposit.

INFLATION.....OECD forecasts that UK economy will have the highest inflation rate among the world's richest nations this year, according to new forecasts.

Yep, life in just a few hours of our inept, inefficient, arrogant, self-serving, divisive, disgraceful Tory government 😡😡😡

General Election Now

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

@ThePipsteroo She’s still fab!

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

The government can afford HS2 that no one needs. But it says it cannot afford to build safe schools for children without cutting spending on their actual education. If that isn’t a measure of how screwed up this country is I am not sure what might be.

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

@ThePipsteroo Only just seen this, it did make me laugh!! X

[Howard Cox @HowardCCox]

An apt summation on how @SadiqKhan’s selfish cash grab will impact lives

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

It isn't 'woke indoctrination at university' that is turning young voters away from the Tories. It's £60,000 student debt, insecure employment, lousy pensions and zero chance of ever owning a home.

[Robyn Storey @loadofbobyns]

@ProfKarolSikora Personally think ULEZ will cost @UKLabour a general election. Tories back in also horrendous for people’s health!
