    Matt Warman – 2021 Comments on Digital Identities

    The comments made by Matt Warman, the Digital Infrastructure Minister, on 2 August 2021.

    Whether someone wants to prove who they are when starting a job, moving house or shopping online, they ought to have the tools to do so quickly and securely.

    We are developing a new digital identity framework so people can confidently verify themselves using modern technology and organisations have the clarity they need to provide these services.

    This will make life easier and safer for people right across the country and lay the building blocks of our future digital economy.

    Anneliese Dodds – 2021 Comments on Cash for Access Donors

    The comments made by Anneliese Dodds, the Chair of the Labour Party, on 1 August 2021.

    The Conservatives have serious questions to answer over this latest cash for access scandal.

    The public have a right to know which government ministers are meeting with donors who have access to the corridors of power, including what appears to be exclusive access to the Prime Minister and the Chancellor.

    The way that Boris Johnson and his friends go about their business seems to be less about what is right and more about what they can get away with.

    There cannot be one rule for high-ranking Conservatives and their friends, and another rule for everyone else.

    Jo Stevens – 2021 Comments on the Government’s Technology Announcement

    The comments made by Jo Stevens, the Shadow Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, on 2 August 2021.

    The Conservatives are keeping the UK in the digital slow lane with their broken promises on the gigabit rollout, shifting their targets again and again.

    Conservative dither and delay is harming our digital infrastructure and our economy.
