I don't think you can base your prediction of the next general election on a single local election for a constituency that has been a labour stronghold since its inception in 1983.

Like it or not, the polls are scary, and they're predicting something that is possible. The incumbent government should be bearing that in mind when making decisions.

Any technology that may be responsibly used today has no guarantee of being used responsibly and ethically in the future.

If the polls are to be believed, the UK is likely to be ruled by a far-right party after the next general election.

Between this, digital ID, police facial recognition technology, and 'age verification', well... its like the current incumbent party are actively trying to give the new one all of the tools needed to oppress before they're even in office.
