Despite the growing opposition to digital IDs...

Editor's note: ...they will likely become inevitable as respective populations get steamrolled by this technology. And that is for the very simple reason governments are private corporate vassal states. The UK government is building its digital ID system (see Why We Must Oppose Digital ID Cards) through a federated ecosystem rather than a single contractor and is in contact with, or certifying, multiple technology companies, including Yoti (valued at about £82 million in 2019 subsequently raising over £160 million in total funding) and OneID (raised $20 million) as approved digital identity providers under the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework, Onfido (Entrust) and GB Group (GBG) as major identity-verification firms active in the ecosystem, and large government IT contractors such as PA Consulting (current valuation estimated at £3 billion), Deloitte (reported £5.7 billion in its latest financial year), BAE Systems (roughly £50–£55 billion in market cap), and Accenture (roughly a £120 billion – £125 billion market cap) for architecture, security, and systems support, with platform discussions also involving Google and Apple around digital ID wallet integration.

UK Goes Full Cradle-To-Grave With 'Sinister' Plan For Newborn BABY Digital IDs

By Steve Watson | January 1, 2026

Ministers secretly plot to tag babies with lifelong surveillance tech

The UK government's digital ID push is escalating into outright dystopia, with ministers privately floating the idea of assigning digital identities to newborns right alongside their health records.

This "sinister" expansion, revealed by the Daily Mail, exposes Labour's true agenda: a lifelong tracking system masquerading as a tool to curb illegal immigration.

The move is being slammed as a blatant power grab, with many warning it has nothing to do with border control and everything to do with eroding freedoms from birth.

Ministers in the Labour Government have now let slip their latest proposal

The proposal emerged in secretive Cabinet Office meetings led by minister Josh Simons, who cited Estonia's model where infants get unique numbers at birth registration for accessing public services.

Simons even suggested digital IDs could help teenagers log into social media, tying into global crackdowns like Australia's under-16 ban on apps such as TikTok.

Announced by Prime Minister Keir Starmer in September as a way to verify job candidates' right to work, the scheme is slated for rollout by 2028-29 at a staggering £1.8 billion cost. But the government has stonewalled on details, fueling suspicions of mission creep.

Shadow Cabinet Office minister Mike Wood blasted the idea: "Labour said their plan for mandatory digital ID was about tackling illegal immigration. But now we hear they are secretly considering forcing it on newborns. What do babies have to do with stopping the boats? This would be a deeply sinister overreach by Labour – and all without any proper national debate."

Editor's note: It is plausible, though not confirmed, that Oracle could become involved in the UK government's digital ID implementation at some point, given its extensive existing contracts across UK government departments, its provision of UK-sovereign cloud infrastructure that meets government security standards, and its role as a major supplier of large-scale data and identity-adjacent systems globally; however, no contract or formal role has been announced, and the UK's current approach relies on an in-house government platform and a federated trust-framework model, meaning any future Oracle involvement would likely be as an infrastructure, cloud, or systems supplier rather than as the owner or operator of the digital ID scheme itself.

3 million Brits have signed a petition rejecting digital IDs. People object to digital IDs mainly because of concerns about privacy, power, and control: critics fear mass data collection, surveillance creep, data breaches, exclusion of people who can't or won't use digital systems, and the risk that governments or corporations could centralize identity in ways that limit personal freedom or enable abuse, especially if safeguards are weak or trust is low:
