Every Brit will be ordered to carry digital ID cards as part of Labour’s efforts to tackle illegal immigration.

The Prime Minister is expected to give the plan the green light on Friday amid fears the black economy is convincing Channel migrants to cross in small boats.

Ministers will likely need to introduce new legislation for the so-called “Brit card”.

Anyone starting a new job would be ordered to show the digital ID card, which would then allow officials to check the individual against a central database of those entitled to work in the UK.

Landlords would also be able to check someone’s immigration status, it is understood.

Sir Keir Starmer is said to have changed his mind on the proposals following pleas from senior figures including French President Emmanuel Macron.

It comes as six migrants have now been returned to Keir Starmer’s one-in-one-out deal with Emmanuel Macron.

An Afghan and a Somali were sent back to the continent on Thursday morning, it is understood.

Others deported last week were from Iran, Afghanistan, Eritrea and India.

More than 32,000 people have arrived in the UK after making the dangerous journey so far this year.

And Boris Johnson on Wednesday night urged the Prime Minister to reverse its decision to cancel the Rwanda deportation scheme.

He said: “I think the government today should swallow its pride and get Rwanda done.

“What we what we have at the moment is a failure to control illegal immigration well.

“And that is, in fact, thanks to Brexit.

“We can do that because if you look at, if you look at the cross Channel, the people coming across in the dinghy, in the boats, that’s the thing that really drives the public nuts, and drives me nuts.

“We have a solution to that, and it’s the Rwanda solution, and it’s and it’s painful, it’s painful to see people now copying our idea, Americans, Italians.

“And what this appalling Labour government should be doing is, instead of going off to Albania and being humiliated by Edi Rama, I was there, you know, asking, begging, Edi Rama, begging the Albanians for a Rwanda solution.

“We should do the Rwanda scheme. That is the way to fix illegal that’s the way to fix the illegal cross Channel migration.”

And he insisted Britain must leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

He said: “They should be getting out of the ECHR that actually doesn’t make much difference to to the to the small boats problem.”
