Keir Starmer proposes digital ID to combat illegal migration in UK

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has proposed a plan to combat illegal migration in the UK through the enforcement of a nation-wide digital ID system. Starmer stated, "Without digital ID, no one in the UK will be able to legally get a job."

The Scottish government has expressed its opposition to the implementation of the digital ID, a sentiment echoed by Northern Ireland. In response to the proposal, over 1 million British citizens have signed a petition urging the government to abandon this measure.
