Incoming British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is expected to shelve the government initiative to introduce digital IDs and focus on helping tackle the cost of living, APA reports.

His decision to scrap the plan, originally proposed by the incumbent Prime Minister Keir Starmer last year, could be made as early as Monday, when he is set to become the new head of government.

Starmer's plan faced backlash, sparking concern among privacy and civil rights advocates.
