1️⃣ Reset the UK digital economy.

From Capgemini and Fujitsu to AWS and Microsoft, Big Tech has gouged the UK out of millions for their services. Not to mention tax evasion.

Ending this rip-off and building the UK tech sector through open source will avoid depleting the UK State and economy.

2️⃣ Reset UK Digital Sovereignty.

This means having control over our critical tech, national infrastructure and digital policy-making.

By ridding ourselves of US tech giants like Palantir and using open source for our systems, we can have greater independence and more competition in UK tech.

3️⃣ Reset the regulators.

The UK government has hobbled the data regulator and the Competition and Markets Authority, pushing them to go easy on market abuse.

This has resulted in a failure to take action when our rights are harmed and has failed to act in the interest of UK businesses.

4️⃣ Regulate AI and ban predictive policing.

Despite being in the UK Labour manifesto, the Starmer government has failed to regulate AI.

AI is increasingly used in benefits, policing and borders, government and society.

But they cause real harms to real people in the name of alleged efficiency.

5️⃣ Roll back the digital hostile environment.

The UK Home Office is deploying flawed and biased tech with little transparency for migrants and refugees.

ORG has called for a ban on the use of AI in asylum decisions, plus facial age estimation tech and the roll-out of the error-prone eVisa scheme.

6️⃣ Ditch Digital ID.

The UK government's will-they won't-they digital ID scheme is a solution in search of a problem.

What it will create is a digital surveillance infrastructure that'll expand into more and more areas of life and further marginalise people.

It needs to be ditched for good.
