Starmer insists digital ID will never be used to put Brits under surveillance

Keir Starmer has insisted digital ID will not be used to track every aspect of a person’s life, and the scheme won’t expand to a social scoring system like the one used in China.

The prime minister has been taking questions on digital ID in a bid to dispel what Number 10 says is misinformation and conspiracy theories about the policy, which is opposed by millions of people in the UK.
