WATCH AS Reform MP TEARS INTO Keir Starmer — One Word Leaves MPs Stunned (Video)
A Reform MP has delivered an explosive speech in Parliament, accusing the government of pushing the country toward heavy-handed control while refusing to take responsibility for its own failures. Speaking with visible anger, he warned that Britain is seeing a rapid expansion of facial recognition technology, alongside what he described as dozens of arrests every single day over social media posts. According to him, this trend shows a dangerous shift away from free expression and toward constant surveillance of ordinary people.
He went further by claiming that trial by jury, a cornerstone of the British justice system, is quietly being removed in many cases. In his view, this weakens public trust in the courts and strips citizens of a long-standing protection. He also raised concerns about schools, alleging that children are being politically influenced and radicalised by left-wing teachers, something he said parents neither agreed to nor voted for.
The strongest part of his attack focused on the government’s push to introduce digital ID. He argued that ministers are trying to sell the idea by claiming it will stop illegal migrants from working, but he dismissed this explanation as dishonest and misleading. If the government were serious, he said, it would detain and deport every illegal migrant who crosses the English Channel. Instead, he accused the prime minister of avoiding tough decisions and using digital ID as a distraction. He described the plan as a gimmick and called it a desperate move by a weak leader who has lost control of the situation.
The MP said more than 5,000 people in his constituency had signed a petition opposing digital ID, making it clear that they do not want the government interfering in their private lives. He stressed that these people are not criminals or illegal migrants. They are decent, hardworking citizens whose fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers fought in two world wars to defend the freedoms now being put at risk. In his words, these same people are now being punished for mistakes made by those in power.
He argued that there is already a perfectly good system in place for proving the right to work. People need a National Insurance number, supported by a driving licence, passport, or another form of photo ID. There is no need, he said, to force everyone onto a digital system that gives the state even more control over people’s lives. To him, digital ID represents another step toward treating law-abiding citizens as suspects.
The MP accused the government of blatant double standards. He pointed out that undocumented migrants are allowed into the country with no ID, placed in hotels paid for by the taxpayer, and given free asylum claims and legal aid, all without proper identification. Yet at the same time, the government is demanding that working people register for digital ID just to earn a living. He said this contradiction makes no sense and shows how out of touch ministers are with the public.
He also condemned the language used against critics of the policy, saying that branding concerned citizens as extremists or fascists is a cheap tactic to shut down debate. In his view, people are not opposing digital ID out of hatred or fear, but because they value privacy, freedom, and fairness.
In closing, the MP told the government to stop targeting ordinary people and instead focus on cleaning up the mess it has created. He said his constituents want to be left alone to live and work in peace, without constant monitoring or new layers of control. The message, he made clear, was aimed directly at Keir Starmer and his government: fix the real problems, stop punishing the public, and stop using digital ID as a cover for political failure.
