The most cynical part is that Labour spent years accusing the Tories of wanting to do this, then introduced it themselves, dressed up as a way to cut migration. And now, if you oppose the ID, they smear you as being pro–illegal immigration.

This is some very impressive politicking and exactly why many people don't trust the mainstream political parties.

The immigration angle is a total fraud. If they wanted to do any of the things being implied they could have done so ages ago, they don't care. it's true that the ease of accessing the grey economy is a pull to the country but you can just... not let them in.

The second most cynical part is that the Tories spent years trying to do this and now claim labour authoritarian dictators for doing it.
