I'm struggling to think of a worse, more unnecessary hill for any government to choose to die on.
One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start.
It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.
It's actually mind boggling.
We might be an absolute shower in all sorts of ways. But we really, really hate the idea of ID cards in this country, and I think that's beautiful.
