A protest took place along a route from Marble Arch to Whitehall, with police enforcing strict conditions to maintain order, including instructions for demonstrators to stay on the left side of the road and follow the planned route.

The march featured notable figures such as former Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen, who was expelled from the party in 2023, and included the carrying of an effigy of Sir Keir Starmer by a protester.

Critics, including former Conservative minister Sir David Davis, Kemi Badenoch, and Nigel Farage, voiced concerns that the government's upcoming digital ID system threatens privacy and civil liberties, dismissing it as potentially dangerous and ineffective.

The protest was organized by Mass Non-Compliance, which warned that accepting digital IDs could be a final choice for individuals, emphasizing fears over personal freedoms.

The UK government announced in September that a mandatory digital ID system would be introduced in 2029 to combat illegal migration, prompting public criticism and debate.
