The UK government plans to introduce a mandatory digital ID for all adults. The “Brit Card” would prove a person’s right to live and work in the country. People would need it to start a job or rent a home. The move aims to reduce illegal work and small boat crossings. The system, inspired by Estonia, will be app-based and linked to a central database. Civil liberty groups have criticized the plan, calling it intrusive. A government consultation and legislation will be required before rollout. (PC: Sky News)
