The government has unveiled plans for a new digital ID card to be held on people’s phones. The digital ID, dubbed the 'Brit Card' by some, will provide proof of identity and residency status in the UK. Keir Starmer said it is part of a wider push to tackle illegal immigration and will be mandatory as a means of proving the right to work, but people will not generally be required to carry it or be asked to produce it. #idcard #idcards #keirstarmer #labour #id #digitalid #britcard | Yahoo UK
