GB News Political Editor Christopher Hope speaks with the Prime Minister’s Chief Secretary, Darren Jones, about the Government’s proposed digital ID system.

The plan would allow people to verify their identity through the Gov.uk app, potentially simplifying access to public services such as tax, benefits and passport applications. The government says the system would be voluntary and designed to make services faster and easier to use.

However, the proposal has sparked debate about privacy, trust in government and whether the UK could be moving toward a national ID system.

Christopher Hope also discusses concerns raised by critics about “papers please” culture, data protection, and how the system might work for people who are not digitally connected.

Later in the podcast, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Helen Whately joins the discussion to raise concerns about government plans that could influence how private pension funds invest billions of pounds in savers’ money.
