Hmmm.... so Keir Starmer is looking to move to a universal digital ID... which I assume will effectively make owning a smartphone mandatory.
Not good news for smartphone refuseniks like me, but I knew I'd only be able to hold out so long.... but I've got a little time yet, and there's 'many a slip twixt cup & lip'

@ChrisMayLA6 also it would have to be a reasonably new iPhone/Google Android phone as they presumably want NFC (which is hackable and really easy to swamp with noise). How are people going to afford that?
That also means paying Apple/Google money for signed NFC passes too.
And it’s going to take years to develop and be hugely expensive.
