The Gov’s digital ID scheme is part of a broader pattern of weakening our rights and protections online.
The consultation is our chance have our say and demand a system which respects our rights, makes it easier to access services, and keeps our data safe.
The public is finally getting a chance to have its say on digital ID after months of flip-flopping from the Govt.
Any system must be genuinely rights-respecting - voluntary, inclusive, and with clear safeguards around people’s data.

This is why we need clear and urgent safeguards in place to protect us from the dangers of this tech.

📢 BREAKING: GOVERNMENT PUSHES TO REMOVE ONE OF THE HARSHEST POLICE ACT POWERS📢
We can reveal that the Government has tabled an amendment to its Crime and Policing Bill, to convert the 12-month ban back to the original (pre-PCSCA) 3 months.

There is an urgent need to update the current definition of terrorism to enable current, and future governments to uphold their duty to safeguard the public and national security, whilst protecting people's rights and preventing overreach.

This will continue to have a chilling effect on protest and free speech.
When it’s not clear what counts as terrorism, public trust collapses and without trust, counter-terror laws simply don’t work.
We welcome the court’s finding that the proscription of Palestine Action was UNLAWFUL.
This case has exposed a deeper problem where the line between direct action and terrorism has become dangerously blurred.
