Well out of date. It's almost 3 million by now. It's just an authoritarian power grab by starmer and the government and not even a good one. For those uninitiated having a mandatory id is probably one of the most toxic ideas in the UK, but they are determined to see it through. It is absolutely a step towards mass surveillance and control. The most infuriating part is the gaslighting going on that this is the solution they are working on to tackle the migrant crisis. I have two things to say about that; it isn't, and there are better methods. This will cost him the elections because he's already the least popular prime minister ever.
