A томica-sized passport in your pocket: Labour's vision for the BritCard

Snippets from the crypt:

The BritCard, a brainchild from Labour's closest confidant, Labour Together, is about to redefine the UK's digital landscape. It's more than just a wallet—it's a mandatory digital ID for every adult, akin to a pocket-sized One-Login on steroids. Here's the lowdown:

The crux of the matter

  • The grand vision: Designed to combat illegal migration, the BritCard streamlines right-to-rent and right-to-work checks, aligning it with the Digital Identity and Attributes Framework (DIATF)[1][5].
  • Tech savvy: This digital ID would be constructed around existing systems, like the One Login and Gov.UK Wallet, which would receive a facelift[1][2].
  • Digital ID app: The BritCard is intended as a smart, verifiable digital ID, available as a free iOS or Android app[5].
  • Services at your fingertips: It promises to grant seamless access to government services and possibly double as a gateway to the National Health Service (NHS)[1].
  • The more, the merrier: Over time, it could assimilate existing ID systems, such as national insurance numbers or driver's licenses[1].

Wallet wars: Cost and implementation

  • The cost factor: The estimated £140-400 million price tag for the BritCard is pocket change compared to other mammoth infrastructure projects[1][5].
  • No opt-out: Be prepared to embrace the BritCard; if you don't, you're in for a world of hurt when trying to access government services[2].

Rewind, rewind: The BritCard's roots

  • Who's the brains behind this operation?: The architects are Labour Together, a Labour Party think tank[1][5].
  • Historical precedents: The widespread adoption of a mandatory digital ID has been compared to the contentious poll tax, a reminder of potential voter backlash[2].
  • The BritCard, a digital ID designed by Labour Together, is set to revolutionize the UK's digital landscape by leveraging technology, aspiring to resemble a powerful One-Login system.
  • This technology-driven digital ID, scheduled to be available as a free app for both iOS and Android devices, aims to provide easy access to various government services, even potentially serving as a portal to the National Health Service.
