Poll shows 2 in 3 Britons fear safety with Keir Starmer's digital ID plan

A recent poll reveals that 63% of Britons are concerned about the safety of Keir Starmer's proposed digital ID card scheme. Many distrust the government to protect their personal data, especially following recent cyber-attacks and a significant data breach affecting asylum applicants. Concerns about civil liberties and cybersecurity risks are prominent among critics.

Matthew Feeney from Big Brother Watch emphasized that "a digital ID scheme being a civil liberties disaster, it would also represent a significant cybersecurity risk." Some political leaders, like Tory MP Andrew Griffith, also voiced strong opposition to the proposal.
