Prime minister confirms people will not be able to work in UK if they do not have new digital ID

Deputy prime minister David Lammy has called the conflict in Gaza “inhumane” and “utterly unjustifiable”.

Addressing the United Nations general assembly in New York, Lammy said:

What is happening in Gaza is indefensible, it is inhumane, it is utterly unjustifiable and it must end now.

Better than the horrific acts by Hamas on 7 October that left children without their parents and parents without their children.

Better than the torment of families waiting desperately for the return of their loved ones from the most barbaric captivity. Better than the fanatical rule by Hamas, a vile, pitiless terrorist organisation that must have no future in Gaza.
