"There's much more to the story because the UK has many digital ID aspects already in place-- such as for work visas and residence permits-- but these not coordinated into a whole."
They're determined to bring it in and will attempt to gradually. You need an ID for so many things in the UK so it is a lie in some ways.
I haven't shown my photocard drivers license in literally years to anyone, other than renewing it.
I normally just use Birthcert and Utility bills.
