Kirstie Allsopp tears apart Keir Starmer with just one | UK News

Kirstie Allsopp has fiercely criticised Sir Keir Starmer after he mentioned the significance of Digital ID. The Prime Minister posted a assertion on X about how Digital ID will “save people time and money” when shopping for a home. However, Channel 4 presenter Kirstie has expressed her outrage over the proposal and shared her ideas on social media. Sir Keir posted initially: “I recently spoke with someone buying a house with her partner. She told me that she had to pay just to verify who she was. With digital ID that could be done in seconds and wipe out the costs. Digital ID will save you time and money.”

Kirstie retweeted his post and shared her own feedback, saying: “Seriously?! This is outrageous, how dare @KeirStarmer pretend that Digital ID is what will sort out our broken homes transaction system, he’s a lawyer FFS he knows this isn’t true.”

One of her followers replied to her comment and argued: “I usually agree with your posts but I don’t think he’s claimed that it will sort out the whole transaction system. Surely the best way to deal with that is to establish a small working party of people who really understand the technical challenges and get them to redesign it.”

She responded to them and said: “He is using Digital ID, his agenda, and suggesting that one of its benefits will be to speed up property transactions, if they spent half as much money/time as digital ID will cost on this issue it would be very quickly solved.”

Another also commented: “Proving your identity is not the issue with buying property. The delays are unbelieveable given the system is digitalised. Months to purchase a property is outrageous.”

On the other hand, another also claimed: “I don’t think he said that, Kirstie. He’s only claimed it will expedite some of the annoying due diligence. In fairness, that would be a good thing, but the jury’s out on whether that balances all the potential problems of digital ID.”

The Labour authorities has just lately announced plans for a new scheme, including a obligatory digital ID for anybody wanting to work in the United Kingdom, which can simplify access to authorities providers and help cut back identification fraud.

While not for daily carrying, it would serve as a verified means to show your identification, with particular particulars being shared only when required.
