The Week: ID Cards, Burnham and Johnson Takes on Farage
Today, Keir Starmer is to announce plans for a digital ID scheme.
Number 10 say it would help crack down on illegal working and modernise the state. The previous Labour government's attempt to introduce ID cards was ultimately blocked by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition.
Adam, Chris, Vicki and Joe discuss this and Boris Johnson coming out against Nigel Farage and Reform UK.
