Will digital ID cards stop illegal working?

from The Standard

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said plans for a new digital ID held on people’s phones will be an “enormous opportunity” for the UK and make working illegally tougher. Digital ID will become mandatory as a means of proving the right to work under the plans, which will come into place within the next few years. The Standard’s Chief Political Correspondent Rachael Burford joins us with the latest. And in part two, The Standard’s Culture Writer India Block is here to discuss whether Strictly Come Dancing can survive the latest scandals and what needs to improve, as the much-loved show returns for its 23rd series.  Hosted on Acast.
