Quite a bold move for a first act! I can see why people would be wary of a digital ID system, but I wonder if we'll miss out on some of the efficiency it might have brought. Do you think this is the right call, or just playing it safe?
If Burnham wish to show British citizens he is there for them put end to the disastrous Starmer polices deals put British citizens first listen to British citizens concerns stop boats star removing illegal immigrants stop benfits for illegal immigrants I,E legal aid and so on secure our borders and security get Hermar out treacherous towards our veterans and Military Make UK Great Again
Great, now what about mandatory Age Verification, which is effectively Digital ID by the backdoor. (Before anyone says it's just uploading a photo, it's not.

Why is it that no matter who steps up for the job, no matter their politics, is always shut down, shredded and dumped upon BEFORE they even get a chance to star their job?
Politics already has a deficit problem of beliefs in this country (which in turn will have a negative impact on the international stage which will in turn impact this country), why make it worse?
As an old codger who refuses to use a smartphone, I'm relieved. Now fix the photo id requirement for elections, which prevented me from voting in 2024.
