I don't think Kier Starmer understands that when people voted for Labour, they were, in fact, voting for Labour, not Reform / the Tories. This proposal at least has some merit (though it is not without issues) but trying to sell it as preventing illegal work is ludicrous, attempting to appeal to the right-wing votes who will never vote Labour, and giving control of the conversation to the Weasel in Chief, Nigel Farage.

I've always associated Labour with ID cards, so this feels right for Labour. Last time they pretended it was needed to prevent terrorism as that was the issue de jour but this time it's immigration.
