Keir Starmer ripped apart with just three words as GB News migrant row explodes

GB News was brought to a halt as the news channel issued a breaking news announcement on Thursday. The show shared that there have been a wide range of reports suggesting that Sir Keir Starmer is set to announce mandatory digital ID cards.

The new "Brit card" would be asked for when people start new jobs, following the revelation that asylum seekers were working for delivery firms. Cards would be checked against a central database of those entitled to work in the UK. Under the rules every adult in the UK would be required to carry a card. As GB News shared the update, a guest on the show, Reform Party member and former Conservative Party Chairman Jake Berry, shared his thoughts on the matter as he blasted: "It's not working!" The show's presenter, Martin Daubney, asked if the introduction of the cards is "a greater price to pay for the protection of our borders". That was when Mr Berry went off on a rant.

He fumed: "Why should I have to change the way I live every single day of the week to be stopped by police, which we know have been subject to massive overreach in terms of taking civil liberties away?"

He continued: "Why should I be forced to do that just because this Government has failed to grip the issues of borders. This is fundamentally changing the way that we live our lives in Britain.

"The real disgrace is to call it a 'Brit card' when it's destroying so much of what matters to us.

"The second issue is that I fundamentally do not trust this Government with my data." He went on to say that they are "terrible" at keeping our data safe.

But the politician was not done bashing the Labour leader and his party just yet, as he added: "This is wrong for Britain. It's the wrong time. It's the wrong policy.

"And I'm sorry, but if Starmer thinks that maybe this is part of a new Keir Starmer reset for the Labour party conference, then he is proving himself once again tin-eared and not on the side of ordinary working people in this country."
