Sir Keir Starmer U-turns on mandatory ID cards after backlash
Metro.co.uk and 3 more
- The government has abandoned plans to make digital ID cards mandatory for workers, with IDs no longer required for the right to work by the end of this parliament in 2029.
- Officials say other verification methods, like electronic visas or passports, may be valid for right-to-work checks instead of digital IDs.
- The Times reports stepping back from mandatory use cases will deflate a major contention, avoiding cases where workers are barred for not installing the ID.
