The Prime Minister has been branded “spineless” as the government has made their 13th U-turn in 18 months on digital ID cards for workers.
Last year the government announced that digital ID cards will be mandatory and rolled out by 2029.
Sky New reported that the Lib Dems said that Sir Keir Starmer must be “bulk ordering motion sickness tablets.”
A government spokesperson said, “We are committed to mandatory digital right to work checks.
“Currently right to work checks include a hodge podge of paper-based systems with no record of checks ever taking place. This is open to fraud and abuse.
“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.”
