Removal vans spotted outside No10 as Labour rejects Tony Blair’s call for ID cards to control migration - live

The change of tune is already underway in Downing Street after a piano and a sofa were spotted being removed from Number 10.

After Labour ’s general election landslide, former prime minister Rishi Sunak and ex-chancellor Jeremy Hunt lost their residences as Sir Keir Starmer took power.

On his third day in government , Labour cabinet minister Jonathan Reynolds ruled out introducing digital ID cards after Tony Blair called for their use to help control migration.

Business secretary initially said the government would be “looking at all sorts of things” and he did not want to pre-empt that plan, but in an interview later he ruled it out.

In light of the Tories’ historic defeat, Suella Braverman admitted Reform could kill off the Conservatives after Nigel Farage managed to secure five seats in parliament .

The PM is set to kick off his UK-wide tour in Edinburgh today, where he will meet First Minister John Swinney in an effort to “turn disagreement into co-operation” with the SNP.

Sir Keir prioritised seeking an “immediate reset” of the relationship between Westminster and devolved nations.
