UK Government Urged to Roll Out Digital IDs to ‘Flush Out’ Populism

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair is calling on his globalist allies in the UK’s socialist government to begin rolling out digital IDs for the general public.

According to Blair, pushing citizens into adopting a digital ID and “wallet” will help the ruling Labour Party “flush out” populism among the population.

Blair, a World Economic Forum (WEF) “agenda contributor,” claims that digital ID and artificial intelligence (AI) are the golden ticket to what he calls “the holy grail of governing.”

Along with his ally, current Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Blair is pushing for the UK to advance the rollout of digital IDs.

Starmer is now pledging to transform the UK into an “AI superpower.”

Speaking to The Times, Blair laid out his vision for the public to be tied down with AI-driven technology.

“You’ve got to reorder the Government around this technology revolution,” Blair proclaimed.

Of course, Blair insists that he’s only pushing an AI-powered digital “wallet” for “efficiency.”

“You should be able to have a state that is smaller, more strategic, and providing greater efficiency at lower cost,” he explained.

Blair added that technology is “the instrument that allows you to do it.”

He’s calling on Starmer to push the government to make digital identity systems a cornerstone of its modernization efforts.

Stamer’s government has already announced plans to roll out a digital “wallet” in June.

The “wallet” will allow people to store official documents—like driving licenses—on their phones.

However, this is just the beginning, according to Blair.

“There’s a big debate coming down the line,” he warned.

“How much privacy are you prepared to trade for efficiency?”

Blair is confident the public will happily surrender their personal freedom in exchange for smoother interactions with the state.

“My view is that people are actually prepared to trade quite a lot,” he declared.

Blair envisions this new digital ID regime as a multi-purpose tool to control immigration, ensure public services are accessed only by those entitled to them, and prevent unauthorized migrants from gaming the system.

“It’s sending a signal that there’s no point in thinking you’re going to come here and disappear into a kind of grey economy,” he told The Times.

However, after touting the “efficiency” benefits of his plan, Blair then revealed that digital ID can be used as a weapon to “flush out” his party’s opponents.

“It will also flush out a lot of people who want to talk about issues like immigration or benefit fraud but don’t actually have the means to get to the end,” he mused.

The real utility of digital ID, beyond supposed “efficiency,” is to expose and eliminate populism.

Meanwhile, Starmer’s government is pressing forward with its digital initiatives.

The push for digital IDs, biometric tracking, and centralized data systems has always been justified by appeals to security, efficiency, and progress.

And yet, history tells us that governments rarely — if ever — tighten their grip on information without also tightening their grip on power.

Blair’s vision is clear: a frictionless, AI-powered governance model where the state operates like a tech giant, and the citizen is merely a user navigating its services.

Whether the public is as enthusiastic about this brave new world remains to be seen.
