**Name Surname** MP says No to Labour's Digital ID schemes

Keir Starmer says everyone in the UK will be required to have mandatory digital ID. 

That’s not the kind of country we want to be – one where people are forced to turn over their private data just to go about their daily lives.

I'm standing up for your freedom and privacy, opposing this drastic government overreach. 

People shouldn’t be turned into criminals just because they can’t have a digital ID, or choose not to. This will be especially worrying to millions of older people, people living in poverty and disabled people – who are more likely to be digitally excluded.

The Lib Dems fought against Labour’s plans for ID cards, and we won. We will fight tooth and nail to oppose these plans too.
