Tony Blair’s Commissions Fingerprints Are All Over Britain’s Digital ID Scheme

Blair isn’t just a supporter of digital IDs—he’s deeply embedded in the companies pushing them. The same man who tried (and failed) to roll out ID cards in the UK is now working from the shadows, using his corporate ties and well-placed allies to make it happen anyway.

🚩Follow the money, follow the influence:
• The Tony Blair Institute is directly involved in digital ID policy, working with Amazon Web Services (AWS)—a key player in the UK’s digital ID coalition. AWS funds Blair’s Institute while also shaping the infrastructure for digital identity.
• Banks with Blair-era connections are now at the heart of the initiative. Barclays (which hired Blair’s former adviser Tim Allan) and HSBC (which brought in his former private secretary David Quarrey) are both deeply involved.
• NatWest and Lloyds Bank, both participating in digital ID trials, have historical links to Blair’s banking policies. The same financial networks that benefited from his era are now being used to push digital IDs forward.
• Big Tech ties: Blair’s Institute is actively shaping digital ID discussions with giants like Microsoft and #AWS, lobbying for policies that would cement corporate control over identity verification.

Even as the Labour Party distances itself from Blair’s digital ID obsession, his network remains fully engaged, operating through a mix of corporate influence, financial sector alliances, and strategic policy partnerships.

#Blair openly admits that the #British public needs “a little persuading” to accept digital IDs. What he really means is they need to be pushed, manipulated, and corralled into compliance—whether they like it or not.

This isn’t about convenience. It’s about corruption, power, control, and the privatization of identity itself.
