British PM to cancel digital ID plan
The upcoming British Prime Minister, Andy Bournem, has decided to postpone the rollout of the national digital identity scheme approved by his predecessor, Keir Starmer, last September, in order to focus on supporting the nation through rising living costs. The plan aimed to reduce illegal immigration, but opposition and widespread rejection within the country led to its cancellation, with resources being redirected toward more urgent areas. Despite the abandonment of the digital identity project, the government will continue to implement measures to verify workers' rights and persist in efforts to combat illegal employment, with the original plan costing around £1.8 billion over three years.
