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.

Successive UK Governments have let children go hungry under the guise of "balancing the books"
But there's no better investment than giving children the best start in life
That's why @snp.org is scrapping the two-child cap

But after years of sky-high energy bills, and the push for renewables failing to deliver the promised jobs bonanza, is that still the case?
