Headline (here and on Sky) is clickbait - should read that this is a PROPOSAL.

This is a proposal at a party conference, not law. Previous initiatives along these lines have not come to pass, and this is unlikely to as well.

Expect universal rejection by the tories, lib dems and reform in parliament, purely because it’s a Labour initiative, and expect plenty of Labour MPs to disobey the whip.

From the BBC this morning:

“Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch calls it a "desperate gimmick", while the Lib Dems fear it would force people to turn over their private data”

If it does somehow get beyond the commons, expect lords to quash it.

I give this about a 20% chance of actually coming to pass.
