Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch battle it out over digital ID as Tory leader mocks “latest U-turn”

Sir Keir Starmer has insisted there “will be checks” on the right to work in the UK, and “they will be digital, and they will be mandatory”, as he faced fire in the Commons over a U-turn on the Government’s flagship digital ID plans.

The Government appears poised to water down plans for a new mandatory digital identification system for right-to-work checks, aimed at cracking down on illegal working by migrants.

At Prime Minister’s Questions, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch welcomed the “latest U-turn”, and described mandatory digital ID as a “rubbish policy”.

Responding, Sir Keir suggested the Government is still going to introduce checks to establish people are legally allowed to work in the UK, but did not say this would only be limited to his digital ID.
