The United Kingdom, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership, plans to introduce mandatory free digital ID cards for all workers to combat illegal immigration<\/a>. Announced at the Global Progress Action Summit in London,this new system will require individuals to have a digital ID to work legally in the UK. Supporters view the measure as a step to secure borders and address the asylum crisis, while critics warn it infringes on privacy and could lead to mass surveillance.A petition opposing the digital ID has garnered over one million signatures, urging Parliament to reconsider. The Labor Party had previously implemented a digital ID system nearly 20 years ago, which was later abolished. Starmer’s government clarifies that carrying the ID in public won’t be compulsory, but it must be used for employment, with options for those without smartphones being developed. the move aligns with Starmer’s aim to reduce net migration amid recent high numbers<\/a> of arrivals in the country.
