UK PM Keir Starmer to announce compulsory 'Brit Card' digital ID

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to announce the introduction of a compulsory digital ID known as the "Brit Card" aimed at combating illegal immigration. This initiative will require individuals to present the Brit Card for employment and rental agreements, verifying their rights to live and work in the UK through a central database.

The announcement is expected to detail plans for the Brit Card"s expansion to include access to various services, such as driving licenses and welfare benefits. This move is part of the government"s broader strategy to address immigration issues within the country.

As previously reported, similar situations regarding immigration policies have arisen in other parts of the world, including Madagascar, which imposed a curfew due to violent protests over utilities cuts.

The official announcement from Prime Minister Starmer is anticipated to provide further details on the implementation timeline and the specific requirements for obtaining the Brit Card.
