The Labour policy has been subject to swathes of political criticism since its announcement
Nigel Farage has vowed that he would rather go to jail than carry a digital ID card in his latest retaliation against Labour policy.
The scheme, which would see the UK follow in the footsteps of nations like Estonia, would see every UK citizen and legal resident having to hold a free national ID card aged 16 and over.
“It’ll pave the way for £600million of tax grab we can take from people,” the GB News star raged.
“Before you know it, you’ll have all your medical records on there if you’re not jabbed, because the Government thinks you should be. You’ll find yourself genuinely a second-class citizen.

“I think the whole thing is appalling. I will not be having Digital ID. Put me in prison; not a problem. I will not be having digital ID and I really mean it.”
Sir Keir Starmer has shut down pleas to halt the introduction of the policy after almost 2.8million Britons signed a petition against the scheme.
Speaking out on the policy, Sir Keir Starmer laid out: “I’m announcing this Government will make a new free of charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work.
“The rule will be that you can’t work if you don’t have Digital ID. And the reason for that is that too many people are working illegally.
“You must have a mandatory Digital ID in order to work because we have to stop illegal working.”
Rebuking Labour’s latest move, the GB News presenter raged: “That is our totally and utterly dishonest Prime Minister at every single level.
“If you are a foreign worker in Britain, you already have to show a form of Digital ID as a foreign worker to your employer on your phone.
“There is a code you have to apply for, and he, if he or she is there employing you legally have to ask for it. So we’re told that’s why we’ve got to have it. Why is he lying to us?”
Widespread criticism against Digital ID stems from the risk of hacking. Meanwhile, others have raised the alarm over the country becoming a “dystopian nightmare”.
Rebutting Nigel’s view, former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng weighed in on the matter, arguing that it is simply “modern technology”.
“It’s going to happen one way or the other. If it doesn’t happen this year, it’ll happen next year. If it doesn’t happen next year, it will happen in three years time,” he told Nigel.
Nigel was quick to fire back that he “supports digital currencies and the 21st century”.

However, he added: “But that is a private transaction between me and an organization or a system, not with Government.”
He explained that he had a problem with giving the Government “the ability to control every element of your life”.
Predicting the future of the policy, he theorised: “I have a feeling that this one, that it’s not going to fly. Blair tried this really, really hard. They tried for years.
“I think this is going to fall flat on his face. I can’t see Labour putting up with it.”
