Keir Starmer’s plans for digital ID cards could go far beyond the original proposals - even making it easier to claim benefits and notifying people when to put their bins out.
Labour on Tuesday unveiled its prototype digital ID system as it laid out further details on what the scheme could look like in its push to create 'Government by app'.
The Prime Minister first sold the scheme as a way to crack down on illegal migration - but now Labour has revealed its vision for a one-stop shop that could become the ‘front door’ for public services.
Documents published by the Cabinet Office state that the Government will retain the right to revoke somebody’s digital ID - and could even be handed powers to take enforcement action if people fail to keep their details up to date.
The digital ID will first be used to carry out digital right-to-work checks, but ministers envision this expanding to include things like childcare, tax, national insurance and even registering a marriage.
Under Labour’s plans the public will be able to tell the app which council area they live in - with people then receiving alerts telling them when their rubbish collection is due.
The app could even flag what benefits people might be entitled to based on their personal details, making it easier to claim Universal Credit, child benefits and housing support.
The consultation document states that ‘the digital ID will allow government to more easily verify an individual’s eligibility for benefits’.

When I retired, it was easy peasy to apply for Social Security. I did it all online.
Bring out your dead
The Digital ID will make voting so much more streamlined.
Heck, it will “vote for you” according to the government algorithm. Anyone disagreeing with this will be off to the re-education camp.
Re: Bring out your dead.
There will be a heavy push for retroactive digital ID’S. The Dead have rights too, dontcha know! Once the dead have their digital ID, the next pogrom will be “The Dead’s Right To Vote.” Any complaints or pushback will necessitate another trip to the re-education camp.
