I find it weird that the focus is always on reducing “illegal work” by stopping people from working, rather than finding ways to make their work legal and therefore allow the workers to be taxed and contribute to the economy.
Also, digital ID can reduce illegal work no better than paper ID can.

However, I reiterate the original and main point I made which is if Digital ID can help reduce illegal work then that is a good thing.
And it is not progressive to lose control of who is entitled to be and work here.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

Its quite striking to me the similarity with the no more jury judgements thing Labour wants to do how they say “criminals shouldn’t get juries“ when the reality is that its “people wouldn’t get juries“
Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

Exclusive: Courts minister says change needed to stop criminals opting for juries to delay cases, sometimes by years, and clear huge backlog

UK politics live – latest updates
Criminals will be stopped from “gaming the system” by choosing trial by jury in order to increase the chances of proceedings collapsing, the courts minister has said, promising to enact radical changes to limit jury trials by the next election.
Drug dealers and career criminals were “laughing in the dock” knowing cases can take years to come to trial, Sarah Sackman told the Guardian, saying inaction would be a road to “chaos and ruin”. Continue reading...

As with everything: make these programs universally free. If you are deeply concerned that rich people are getting access to universal government programs, then tax their incomes or assets.
A family where both parents earn 99k get 30 “free” childcare hours a week and a family where one parent is on minimum wage and one earns 100k get no “free” childcare hours at all. It’s a dumb system and I imagine most high earners game it in some way.

By mimicking Reform to win back support, the Labour government is making a serious mistake. This race to the bottom emboldens Farage, punishes vulnerable people, amplifies racism, and undermines those working to hold communities together.
