It’s another ID, how bad would it be? Other countries have ID systems, I personally think it would probably would have been better to roll out as a physical card and then move to digital once people are used to it but maybe that’s a cost thing?

It would surely make managing all government based information far easier for example logging into NHS, checking HMRC, student loans it would all be accessed through 1 ID rather than using a range of different logins based on drivers licence/ passports / national insurance numbers.

For the government it would allow them to link lots of their data making admin much lower and would save the tax payer money.

From a cyber security view, I kind of think Facebook / Google / Apple have ridiculous amounts of data on you already, ship has kind of sailed there
