UK digital ID scheme to have limited use before next general election, minister says Darren Jones says £1.8bn project likely to cover only vehicle tax payments and right-to-work checks initially

Does UK have an ID problem with vehicle tax payments? No, the tax is due on the vehicle in use, not the owner. DVLA is content so long as it gets a payment. This would be a fantasy use of Digital ID merely to justify its existence.

If only the Conservative Goverment hadn't banned onshore wind turbines. If only they had taken advice from sustainable energy advocates instead of the thinly disguised oil lobbyists GWPF. If only RefUK didn't whine about deployment of every low-carbon energy source ... 🌞

Given that the King travels internationally without a passport, is he not concerned about being detained by US CBP as an undocumented migrant?

👏

Starmer's plan to unilaterally deploy HMS Prince of Wales may have been a bluff. Last year, his government admitted the Royal Navy has 134 Admirals and Flag Officers. It is probable that any one of them could have told Starmer the aircraft carrier's deployment was impossible with current resources.

You may have thought the US would have been curious enough to ask where Israel's intention was on a scale from knocking over an oil can to cataclysmic conflagration, but no, not this administration.

US is better off weathering a block on new legislation sign-off than than by conceeding legislation presaging the end of democracy. It will still have existing statutes and its constitution.

No, it's clearly illegal and also unconstitutional since it was not in response to any direct or imminent threat to US interests.

Given Trump's illegal war that is devastating the Middle East and pushing up energy bills, Keir Starmer should advise the King to call off April’s state visit to the US.

A state visit should not be given to someone who repeatedly insults and damages our country.

British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales prepped to set sail This may raise speculation HMS Prince of Wales could be sent to defend British interests during the Middle East conflict.

The first thing an aircraft carrier has to defend in a hostile environment is itself. Unless we hear of a flotilla of escorts also preparing for deployment in 5 days - HMS Dragon & onboard aircraft are not enough - this is either a bluff or a very risky move.

UK ‘took far too long’ to let US use its airbases to attack Iran, Trump says US president also ‘very disappointed’ in Keir Starmer over UK government’s deal to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius

Wrong: Starmer was too quick to capitulate to Trump.

Who can believe the claim USAF will only exploit RAF Fairford (and I have a valid interest being from the region) for strikes against stored missiles which Iran would have used for retaliation? This is participation.

It's time for this threat to democracy - displacement of factual reporting in favour of far-right rhetoric - to be constrained. IPSO is clearly not doing so.

AI safety row deepens as Anthropic risks losing Pentagon deal Anthropic has refused to relax its safety limits on its AI tools, despite threats from the US Department of Defence to scrap a $200m contract

Hegseth wants

to be capable of:
"mass domestic surveillance" & "autonomous weapons systems that can kill people without human input."

In terms of Isaac Asimov's three Laws of Robotics, this conflicts with laws 1, 2 & 3. Also 4.

Starmer chairs Cobra meeting after strikes by US and Israel on Iran Prime minister calls together emergency committee to decide UK’s response to latest fighting in Middle East

Kemi Badenoch on X, the Conservative leader said: “I stand with our allies in the US and Israel as they take on the threat of the Islamic Republic of Iran ..."
She enthusiastically supports an unprovoked US aggression on Iran with no known legal rationale in the midst of negotiations.

Strange choice for a country striving to root out all corruption in preparation for EU membership.

In Boolean algebra,
Where (X .and. Y) is False, then X, Y or both must be False. However, either one of X or Y could also be True if the other is False 🤔

Bannon, Epstein, Farage and Johnson and the Plot to 'Topple' Theresa May The far-right former Trump adviser told Jeffrey Epstein that "we are overthrowing May right now" as he worked with Boris Johnson to remove the then Conservative Prime Minister from office

When it comes to misconduct in public office, we have investigations into a former trade minister, Lord Mandelson, a former/prince trade envoy, Andrew, but saliently missing for both his Bannon and Lebedev connections is the former Foreign Secretary bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

If that is so, Johnson's conduct at that time warrants formal investigation. One can't hold high office for one's country while colluding with an official of another country with the aim of toppling one's own Prime Minister.

NHS deal with AI firm Palantir called into question after officials’ concerns revealed Exclusive: in 2025 briefing to Wes Streeting, officials warned reputation of tech firm behind US ICE operations would hinder rollout of data system in UK

Could US software application development companies over-promise, overcharge and under-deliver, harming NHS with cost & delivery overruns in the process? In my experience, damn right! NHS is big enough to develop & control its own secure platforms for less.

Jim Ratcliffe sorry his ‘choice of language offended some people’ after saying UK colonised by immigrants – politics live Manchester United owner responds to criticism by saying: ‘It is critical that we maintain an open debate on the challenges facing the UK’

Not an apology by Ratcliffe: he wraps up UK business to invest the proceeds in US. I guess he'd consider my US grandchildren as unwanted immigrants should they relocate to UK to escape the effect of vermin like him profiting from tax perks that would have better benefited US affordable healthcare.

Ratcliffe divested in UK to favour the US. He's listed no. 7 (at over £17bn) on the 2025 Sunday Times rich list. Effectively, he moves his money to minimise taxation, while diminishing his country's economy & denigrating its people.

It's a ridiculous notion that the EU and Ukraine have 'declared war' on Budapest. What the Soviet Union did to Budapest in 1956 though - that was war.

Sincere negotiations for peace between protagonists are generally held in a secure neutral location, not in the imperialist heartland of the aggressor. Witkoff's & Kushner's security guarantees in Moscow would amount to no more than a pinkie promise from Putin to play nice.

By searching for "Farage" in the Epstein Files database (justice.gov/epstein), 38 results come up.

In one, Steve Bannon suggests to Epstein that his advisory roles to European political parties means he can influence European Parliament…. 1/3

Farage is not the main candidate for UK Prime Minister, and no general election is required until summer 2029. By that time, his politics will hopefully be recognised as the aberration they are.

This foreign influence operation should be treated as a threat to national security by European states.
