Background
A secure Digital ID would modernise the UK, cut fraud, and protect taxpayers’ money. Countries like the Netherlands and Estonia link IDs to banking, licences, and healthcare with great success. It increases security, reduces costs, and makes life easier—while ensuring citizens stay in control of their data, not “Big Brother.”
