How many more U turns will this bloody government make?

Digital IDs: Starmer’s change of heart another ‘almighty backtracking’

The government dropping the digital ID scheme's mandatory element is another climbdown for Downing Street, writes the BBC's political editor.

They haven't got a clue.
The only thing they're sure of is to charge more taxes to working families.

Loads, get used to it.

Súck it it up, boyos.

Loads

Too many

Too many

Cry me a river.

At least Starmer has the good sense to test the water first. Good leadership and a conservative approach is saving the UK billions. Pity Boris and his mob didn't learn from their mistakes.

Why the angst?

Amorim lost his job at Old T. because of tactical inflexibility, so a government giving itself a chance to reflect and adjust their policy is no bad thing when they see things aren't working out.

Boris was useless too. Don’t think I’ve ever said anything positive about him or his government.

“Let me be clear, digital ID is going to be mandatory if you want to work in the U.K.”

Testing the water.

Highly likely one day, yes.

Testing the water.

Correct. The clever part is Sir Kier doesn't waste the money like spaffer Boris and his chums.

Hilarious, desperate excuses. Alternatively, perhaps they're just utterly incompetent, don't know what they're doing and are making it up as they go along.

They just need to u-turn back out of the door and leave, stop wasting everyone's time so we can get a proper government.

Not like every other government has done then

Has been the standard for years. The funny part is that you are surprised it happens.

Keep your pencil sharp, years to go yet. Súck it up, boyos.

It was a massive own goal, just like the savings tax and the pension tax will be, hitting people just when they are up for a new mandate.

I see labour have slipped to 3rd place in the polls recently.
