The problem is that digital ID can be implemented behind the scenes and then people will barely notice and it wouldn't affect Reform if they allowed that to happen. It is in fact already the plan to turn existing IDs into digital IDs by forcing employers to digitally verify IDs through the government. Farage having personally suffered from something doesn't mean he will be against it. Look at Trump and FISA.
