YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Prime Minister has insisted compulsory Digital IDs will make “Britain’s borders more secure” as he hit out at criticism of the scheme.
Matthew Wright is joined by Director at The Centre for Migration Control, Rob Bates and Campaign Director at 38 degrees, Veronica Hawking - who has launched a petition in partnership with 'Big Brother Watch' to reject this plan.
The surprising thing? The two guests are in agreement...
'There is little evidence that this will do anything to deter illegal immigration.'
Unveiling the plan during a speech on Friday, Sir Keir Starmer said: "You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have a digital ID.
"It's as simple as that."
