The UK government has just revealed plans to roll out digital IDs for every citizen, claiming it will help stop illegal migration and black-market work. In this episode I break down why that argument makes no sense, why enforcement not new IDs is the real issue, and how this move opens the door to mass surveillance, centralised citizen files and speech policing. I also cover the hypocrisy of politicians who dodge their own taxes while pushing new controls on everyone else, the arrest of a comedian over social media posts, and what rising UK bond yields really signal for the economy.
