Stick yer Britcard up yer arse liebour.
This sounds thoroughly horrendous. Just read Labour's justification - it could have been written by Reform UK.
I can only hope it doesn't apply to Scotland. But of course this isn't made clear by Labour's right wing think tank...

The announcement of a ‘BritCard’ – a digital ID scheme – is a sign of desperation from Keir Starmer’s beleaguered government, which is doomed to failure. The scheme, w…

I love how Starmer says the BritCard is going to be free.

The Britcard – progressive or concerning? | British Politics and Policy at LSE
The Government is considering Labour Together's proposal to introduce mandatory digital ID cards in an effort to tackle irregular migration. There are problems with that.

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements.
That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British.

With one fell swoop, Keir Starmer unified Northern Ireland (against his BritCard).
