    Good. The gov.uk ‘one login’ they are already rolling out is plenty good enough without the massive overreach of digital id.

      I’m not from the UK and also don’t have any background on this, can you perhaps explain why it’s overreach?

      I would think that ID documents being digital is a logical step to digitisation.
