No wonder Tony Blair wants Digital IDs. His son is the owner of the company that’ll be paid £100 billion to develop and monitor them. And Tony has £375 million worth of shares in the company already.

The claim that Tony Blair's son owns the company set to receive £100 billion for digital ID development and that Tony Blair holds £375 million in shares is unverified because none of the available sources provide credible evidence or confirm these specific financial or ownership details.

What the Evidence Shows

The search results and sources primarily discuss Tony Blair's advocacy for digital ID systems in the UK, including his think tank's reports and political lobbying efforts. Several sources focus on the policy arguments and public reception of digital IDs.

There is no credible evidence in the sources that Tony Blair personally holds shares worth £375 million in any company related to digital IDs, nor that his son owns such a company. The YouTube video and The Expose article appear to be less authoritative and do not provide verifiable documentation supporting these financial claims. Overall, the claim lacks substantiation from reliable or official sources and appears to be speculative or conspiratorial.youtube.comyoutube.comTony Blair Pushing Hard for Digital ID...
