"Digital IDs will become mandatory to prove the right to work, but people will not be required to carry the document or be asked to produce it. All UK citizens and everyone who wants to work in the UK will have to have one. The Government will make sure everyone has one in the same way that every citizen of the UK has a national insurance number, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said."
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
The Independent is soliciting donations to fund reporters on the ground across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while keeping reporting free of paywalls. The outlet cites investigations into the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer confirmed plans to introduce digital IDs by the end of this Parliament. Digital IDs will be mandatory to prove the right to work, but people will not be required to carry the document or to produce it in daily life. The Government will ensure every citizen and every person who wants to work in the UK has a digital ID, with downloading to a phone and broader use remaining a personal choice.
