Two in three Britons have fears over Starmer's digital ID card scheme

The public fear Keir Starmer's digital ID card scheme will not be safe.

Polling has found that almost two-thirds of Britons do not trust the Government to keep their digital identity data secure.

It comes as the Prime Minister is expected to announce compulsory digital ID cards for all British residents at Labour's annual conference in Liverpool next weekend.

But polling for civil liberties group Big Brother Watch found 63 per cent of Britons do not trust the Government to keep personal information secure.

Matthew Feeney, advocacy manager of BBW, said the YouGov survey of 2,153 people shows that people fear their data would be stolen in a cyber-attack.
