Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces intense criticism over plans for compulsory ID cards to address the small boats crisis, with public backlash on X calling it a step toward a “dystopian future.” During PMQs, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch challenged Starmer’s immigration strategy, which includes exploring warehouses and military bases for migrant housing.
Starmer rejected exiting the European Convention on Human Rights, arguing it would jeopardize international cooperation, but emphasized reviewing its interpretation.
Critics, including Nigel Farage, argue the ID card plan is ineffective, as many migrants lack passports.
The controversy, compounded by Angela Rayner’s resignation over a tax scandal, highlights Labour’s struggle to balance immigration control with public sentiment.
Starmer’s focus on serious crimes like knife violence aims to deflect criticism, but the ID card proposal risks alienating voters as Labour prepares for a critical November budget.
