"This morning the Political Privacy Act was rushed through. MPs are now exempt from all face-recognition systems. The vote was unanimous..."

At first I thought this comment was just funny, then I had the thought that it's actually plausible, then it hit me that it's not only plausible but inevitable.

Politicians have something of a track record of exempting themselves from "security" laws...

What's the "social credit" system that is being used in the UK? I haven't heard anything about that.

I'm guessing this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System#United_Ki...

This would seem to be more an aggregation of financial credit scores, rather than a "Social Credit System" as I image those to be.
