Newspaper headlines: 'Show us your (digital) papers' and 'Blair ready to run Gaza' Newspaper headlines: 'Show us your (digital) papers' and 'Blair ready to run Gaza'
(about 20 hours later)
"Show us your (digital) papers" headlines the Daily Mail as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is set to announce plans for digital ID cards for Brits. The Mail calls it "dystopian" and "authoritarian", comparing the plan to East Germany. Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy will be given "five years in jail - so will Carla Bruni be next?" the Mail also asks. The Guardian says the former prime minister Sir Tony Blair is "lined up" to lead a new administration in Gaza for as long as five years, until the territory can be unified with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority. In its editorial, the Daily Telegraph says Sir Tony is one of the few international figures to be respected by both sides - and may be the best hope for peace in Gaza.
The Daily Telegraph leads with an editorial from Sir Keir and the words "I got it wrong on migration". According to the paper, former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair is "ready to lead interim government of Gaza after war ends". Compulsory digital IDs are - as the Metro puts it - "on the cards." The Daily Mirror notes that the aim is to stop migrants working unlawfully in the UK, but says there are fears of data leaks and concerns about those with no smartphones. The Daily Express says the civil liberty group Big Brother Watch believes the system would do very little to tackle criminal people-smuggling gangs or employers and landlords who operate "off the books." The Daily Mail describes the idea as an "authoritarian new plan that'll make Britain even more like East Germany."
"Compulsory digital IDs are on the cards" quips Metro. The Times says the government is planning to bring in mandatory reading tests to be taken by thirteen year olds after completing two years at secondary school. The paper says a new assessment could trigger resentment among teachers, who already complain about their workload.
The i Paper leads on the "'Britcard' digital ID" which it says is being "made law for all adults in bid to tackle small boats". The smartphone app would "make it easier for employers and landlords to check a person's immigration status". The i also reports that "Ukraine's stolen children are being trained to throw grenades for Russia". The forlorn face of the former French president Nicolas Sarkozy stares out from many of the front pages, after he was handed a five year prison sentence for conspiracy to seek illegal campaign funds from the late Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi. The Financial Times points out that soon after Mr Sarkozy's election victory in 2007, Gaddafi made a state visit to France. The Times notes that there was no proof that the funds had actually been made available to him. The Guardian says the verdict is a milestone in France's fight against corruption. The Mail asks whether his wife - the model and singer Carla Bruni - will be next.
The Daily Mirror says the PM is bringing in a "digital ID revolution" calling it "playing the Britcard". Baroness Michelle Mone also features on the paper's front under the headline "why we wont get back Covid cash". The Sun reports that the former Doctor Who actor Noel Clarke has been arrested in a police raid on his home that lasted at least five hours. It says officers carried boxes of laptops and documents out of his house. The Mail says it's not known why he was arrested.
The Times also headlines on the "digital ID card scheme" which it says will "confirm right to work". A photo of Sarkozy and his wife is splashed across its front.
The Guardian leads with Microsoft who it says have blocked Israel's use of their technology for mass surveillance. The paper says that the prime minister's digital ID card move will "spark a battle with civil liberties campaigners".
"Keir's card trick" is the top story for the Daily Star. The tabloid also features actress Sydney Sweeney, calling her a "steps symbol".
"Is it cos I is 'avin a mid-life crisis?" asks The Sun, headlining on Sacha Baron Cohen who is reportedly dating a model younger than him "after £120m divorce". The prime minister's plans for a "Digital ID card for all" are dwarfed by the picture spread.
Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham's proposed "borrowing spree" would "rock gilts and hurt sterling", investors have warned the Financial Times. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz now "backs tapping frozen Russian assets to fund Ukrainian war", the paper reports.
It is "schools should ban phones to protect nation's pupils" for The Daily Express. Singer Lulu also "reveals her 'love for David Bowie and his talent'," the paper writes.
