    Speaking on Friday, Starmer said: “I know working people are worried about the level of illegal migration into this country. A secure border and controlled migration are reasonable demands, and this government is listening and delivering.

    “Digital ID is an enormous opportunity for the UK. It will make it tougher to work illegally in this country, making our borders more secure.

    Seems to be done to pander to racist right wingers. So this should be controversial as well.

      I’m not sure how digital IDs solve illegal immigration though. If it’s pandering by not doing anything meaningful - that’s politics. I care about what people do more than what they say.
