For Mr Foster, who told BBC News the incident “felt like forever”, the chaos was unfolding eerily slowly. She told me she was listening to music on the train when a man tried to stab her. The man, who gave his name as Steve, told BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House programme he and his children fled to a nearby house.

That’s the number of signatures on a monster online parliamentary petition opposing his plan — announced in late September — even before an official consultation could begin. On a recent trip to India, Starmer pointed to that country's vast digital ID system as a "massive success,” taking in a visit to Infosys, one of the biggest providers of its architecture. Back home, the opposition is plainly formidable. Many countries with strong traditions of civil liberties have ID cards.

‌Of course, perhaps the most memorable enounter between the two sides came back in 2003, when England - then led by Sir Clive Woodward - were crowned world champions at the Rugby World Cup in Australia. He has since been inundated with support from across the rugby world, with his inspiring bravery leaving some of his former teammates in tears. He is one of over 1,000 former rugby players to have joined a concussion lawsuit against World Rugby, the Rugby Football Union and the Welsh Rugby Union, having publicly admitted he wishes he had never played the sport.
