UK PM to announce plans for digital ID | BBC News
UK Plans Compulsory Digital ID Scheme Tied to Employment Verification
The government intends to roll out a mandatory digital ID system for all UK workers to enhance border security and minimize illegal employment, but immediate opposition highlights major privacy risks inherent in the data collection.
Short Summary
- The proposal requires every prospective employee to present a digital ID to prove their right to work, simplifying verification for employers currently dealing with easily faked documents.
- Public polling reveals a slight edge in support (38% vs. 32%) for the general principle of digital IDs, though concerns about data security and specific information stored remain high.
- Implementation hinges on upcoming legislative action following a three-month consultation, meaning the system will not be activated immediately.

This has nothing to do with immigration.
So you could basically make the argument that the government has purposely allowed illegal immigration to run rampant in order for them to justify and implement digital ID system. Unbelievable.
WE WILL NOT COMPLY.
He has no mandate for this. Its not in the manifesto and it tackles nothing. It's a divisive policy and I hope the public give it the gesture it deserves.
Digital ID is a prerequisite for their real plans, digital currency when you will be restricted from freedom of movement and spending.
Do not comply Will not comply
This will be used to punish people with the wrong views.
No Digital ID’s, No CBDC’s, No Vaccine Passports, No Vaccine Mandates, No Carbon Credit Score, No Social Credit Score, No S.M.A.R.T. Cities, No 15 Minute Cities, No WEF, No WHO, No NIPAH Virus Pandemic.
Canadian here. UK you need to fight this tooth and nails. This is a battle you cannot lose!
Authoritarianism on steroids. The fact he actually said out loud that a UK citizen residing in their own country would be refused employment if not having a state issued digital ID is unbelievable.
