We are still getting the digital ID. Contrary to what some may be suggesting tonight.

And will still be usable in all the same situations.

It's just that the ONE thing it would be compulsory for, is going to be optional (which is right to work checks).

No mention of the cancellations of the line to Manchester & Leeds by the previous Tory Govts, or their gross lack of oversight of the HS2 contractors huge overspend. At the end, a Tory blaming Labour!.

The campaign ‘Go All In’ tackles the worrying decline in reading for pleasure, especially among young people, which is at its lowest level since 2005.

The year addresses this challenge head on, bringing groups together to connect people with the joy of reading for pleasure.
