I’ll be honest, it’s been a while since I needed to prove my age for a drink.
But for millions of young people across the UK, this change brings an easy, secure option for proving your ID.
Through digital technology like this we can make life easier and safer for everyone.
Since the general election, we’ve hit the ground running on the NHS: ending doctors’ strikes, starting to cut waiting lists, investing in GPs, hospices…
A lot done, a hell of a lot more to do. But as I look to 2025, I can see the road to recovery.

Tech Secretary Peter Kyle: "Paper based IDs just aren't really fit for the modern age. People leave them at home. They're tatty. They're not actually accurate"
Story:
We promised reform, to bring back the family doctor and to invest more in primary care.
Today we’re announcing the biggest boost to GP funding for years - an extra £889 million! This, combined with reform, will deliver a better experience for patients and relief for GPs.
🍻 APPY HOUR 🍻
Drinkers will be able to buy booze with digital ID next year to spare the faff of taking physical documents on a night out

Accidental damage & delayed roadworks can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re completing your Christmas to-do list.
Our National Underground Asset Register will help reduce delays & improve worker safety with a clear digital map of our underground infrastructure.
Today @SciTechgovuk and @DCMS have begun consulting on a AI and copyright package we believe balances strong protections for creators while removing barriers to AI innovation.
We want to hear from a wide range of voices.
Respond to the consultation here:
It's 75 years since our National Parks and National Landscapes were created.

The online world we’ve built is vast and can be unpredictable.
Young people today have to contend with challenges no other generation in history has faced.
With no blueprint to tackle these issues, we must make our own.

We're using innovative new technology to kickstart economic growth across the UK.
@PeterKyle and @RachelReevesMP visited @SunderlandUK to see how they're investing in new digital infrastructure and spoke to residents benefiting from the city’s digital inclusion programme.
🎉 Huge congratulations to AISI researcher @hannahrosekirk for winning a Best Paper Award at #NeurIPS2024! 🏆
Good luck @TeamGB – we're all rooting for you.
I respect President Biden's decision and I look forward to us working together during the remainder of his presidency.
I know that, as he has done throughout his remarkable career, he will have made his decision based on what he believes is best for the American people.
So proud of our ministerial team, including @_CallumAnderson as PPS, now complete with responsibilities.
This is the team to boost UK science and harness the power of the new digital centre of government to transform public services and help our economy grow
Govt departments are working seamlessly together to understand the nature of today’s outages and respond appropriately and swiftly.
The past weeks have been incredible - but would have been even better if Tessa had been here to share them
It was great to talk to @BBCTimDonovan about working for Tessa, missing her advice & support - and how she inspires me and other former staff today
The UK is a reliable, trusted & open member of the scientific community 🔬
Sir Patrick Vallance spoke with UK & Ukrainian experts on research assessments @royalsociety - part of our mission to build genuine partnerships and support Ukraine in light of Russia's illegal invasion.
Today we set out the legislation that will kick off the decade of national renewal our country needs
Government is the opportunity to get things done. So it was great to join @wesstreeting to jointly begin upscaling the impact life sciences have on our nation’s health and economic growth
This is how @Keir_Starmer's Labour Government is kickstarting economic growth 👇
It wasn’t the result we were hoping for but England, you did us proud.
A National Wealth Fund. Reforms to the planning system. Restoring housebuilding targets.
Just some of the things I’ve achieved in my first week as Chancellor - and I'm just getting started.
It’s a huge privilege to have been asked to serve as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in @SciTechgovuk
Super excited to be joining DSIT, the digital centre of government, delivering better services & using science and innovation to power growth.
Spending time with the @SciTechgovuk teams that are harnessing technology to make our public services more personal, convenient and satisfying to use.
Bursting with pride and excitement at the talent and ambition of the new DSIT
His Majesty has presented me with the seals of state. It was incredibly moving to be the person receiving them.
The work of our National Wealth Fund starts now to kickstart economic growth and make every part of Britain better off.
The Department for Science, Innovation & Tech will expand, bringing in experts from @GDSTeam, Central Digital & Data Office and @i_dot_AI.
This will drive transformation of public services and people's interaction with govt so it's personalised, convenient & timesaving.
Peter Kyle: The Tories "turned down a data centre... because 1 Minister didn't like the look of it from the M25"... but that same Minister didn't seem to mind the look of a metal scrap yard from the M25. #Unbelievable
#politicshub
War on the NIMBY?
Peter Kyle: “Not only are we going to lift the block, we will be an assertive partner on your behalf to try and get these things done, because we have just won an election and this was in our manifesto.”
Science secretary @PeterKyle throws down the gauntlet to tech companies - warning that the new Labour government "will act assertively" if they develop AI that is not safe.
