This weeks embarrassing Labour government U-Turn is ..... plans for Mandatory Digital ID are being scrapped.
They couldn't run a piss-up in a brewery yet alone a Country , do the decent thing Rodney and fall on your sword before the damage is beyond repair.
Quote:Keir Starmer has U-turned on plans for mandatory digital ID cards for workers.
At the time it was announced last year, the government said that digital IDs would become mandatory for the right to work by the end of this parliament - which is 2029.
But Sky News understands this will no longer be the case.
A government spokesperson said: "We are committed to mandatory digital right to work checks.
"We have always been clear that details on the digital ID scheme will be set out following a full public consultation which will launch shortly.
"Digital ID will make everyday life easier for people, ensuring public services are more personal, joined-up, and effective, while also remaining inclusive."
According to The Times, while right to work checks will still be mandatory, other forms of documentation, such as an electronic visa or a passport, will be valid.
