The Government's new digital identity card will not be known as a "BritCard", Downing Street has confirmed.

The digital identity card - unveiled last week by Sir Keir Starmer - was immediately dubbed "the BritCard" as that was the name given to the scheme by Labour Together, the influential left-wing think tank close to No10, in the summer.

The concept of a "BritCard" immediately led to pushback from politicians in devolved UK regions, notably Northern Ireland, where nationalists would have boycotted the scheme if it were known as a "BritCard".

In an interview with GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said he had been given assurances that the new ID card would not be called the BritCard.
