There was a petition for the UK Parliament to implement what this politician wants by requiring verification for accounts (Piers Morgan was endorsing it iirc), and I believe a petition to not implement it under the pretense of it harming transgender individuals (e.g. deadnaming, having to come out to a stranger for verification).
Parliament did respond saying such legislation would stifle the freedom of expression, which is true, but it doesn’t matter when the UK has other legislation doing the same thing.
