I know they’ve done some good things, I’m still disappointed at their political ineptness.

Yep, as has the entire Lab Govt

Agree with every word - hugely disappointing yes but the vitriol - and it comes from left and right - is off the scale.

Certainly a challenger for that title along with Liz Lettuce Truss.

Leader of the Conservative Party would seem to be one of those that shouldn’t really exist and isn’t really a job.

They’re not really doing the same though are they, unless I missed the bit where the Tories enhance workers rights, introduce libraries and breakfast clubs into all primary schools, take all rail franchises back into public ownership and Labour give up on net zero and leave the ECHR.

Yes they are and not before time.

Indeed - all the parties, govt agencies, decent organisations and companies as well as individuals should get the hell off there.

They should without a doubt.

As usual with this govt it seems a potentially sound idea was not preceded by an or presented with the necessary groundwork and context to explain (see WFA) prior to announcing.

one system will not present any more issues than many databases already on, access to many services easier - having had to supply copies of birth certificates, marriage certificate, driving licence recently to access my pension funds much prefer one source of ID.

Don’t understand why we shouldn’t have them.

And the best deal would be to rejoin customs union and single market.

Don’t see why we can’t be like other countries and have national ID cards.
