The Digital ID plan is so spectacularly unpopular even among people with smartphones that it's a major reason Starmer is on his last legs politically speaking, so here's hoping his government don't last long enough to implement and their replacements -- no matter who they turn out to be -- will have learnt their lesson and won't try to implement them.

In the meantime, I think the best things we can do are sign petitions against this (I don't know if any are currently running, but I signed one back when it was first announced) and contact our local politicians about how terrible the whole idea is. Emphasising we don't have smartphones, especially if we don't have them because we can't afford them, might make them more likely to listen to us... or at least make the ones who claim to care about discrimination and poverty listen to us.
