Are digital ID cards a silver bullet for Britain's migration crisis or a Trojan horse for an Orwellian crackdown?

A mandatory digital identity card will be issued to all Britons as part of plans to curb Channel crossings, Sir Keir Starmer is expected to confirm at his party's conference today.

The move will sharply divide opinion. Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe has previously said a lack of national identity cards means it's "very easy" for migrants to disappear into a "flourishing underground economy", while GB News regular Adam Brooks suggests it turns Britain into China, where the state controls every aspect of citizens' lives.


So, which is it? Vote in our poll below.
