🆔 Of course [digital] ID cards were going to fail because Britons objected to their use on principle and also because they knew it wouldn't tackle illegal immigration.

If Estonia's much lauded National ID system has suffered notable security vulnerabilities, cyberattacks and other fraud, then there's no absolutely no way that this could work efficiently in modern day data-breach Britain.
None of these systems are impenetrable. The UK would basically need an unhackable system.
According to the GOV.UK Cyber Security Breach Survey [CSBS] report for 2024, there were 7.78m cybercrimes across the UK.
Charities saw 924,000 incidents bringing the combined total to 8.7m.
The 2023 report was 3.2m suggesting things are getting worse, not better.

India's Aadhaar system is incompatible with British society and its values, nor should these systems form the 'basis' for anyone to live.
States will always present them as successful and inclusive, but the reality is they're a great security risk and give governments far too much power.

Oversimplification and public relations hype.
This is like calling the iPhone 17 the first smartphone because it added a new feature.
Veterans were already digitally 'verified' through MoD records and today's launch is about softening the public towards the GOV.UK wallet.
And it should be noted, the MoD are not the best example of data security for the forces considering their incompetence throughout the years with high profile databreaches.
Lest we forget that its most recent databreach concerning the Afghan resettlement scheme is set to cost the UK taxpayer at least £850m.

What is also offensive about DSIT's remarks is that they're still intent on prioritising National [digital] ID over physical documents like a passport or driver's license for Right To Work checks.
Britons have already vociferously rejected National ID and it doesn't matter if Labour's policy is a digital first approach.

The 'success' of Estonia's e-gov services doesn't mean it's the correct model for the UK where choice, transparency and trust vastly differ between nations.
UK access to e-gov services must be even more unique: private, secure, de-centralised and exclude any National ID component.

Nothing to fear or hide? Think again.
The combination of a SIM-swap attack with a smartphone device that holds a GOV.UK app or digital wallet containing a National [digital] ID creates an exceptionally high-risk scenario.
If an attacker is able to successfully retrieve a victims recovery/reset SMS passcodes for e.g. One Login or another government service, the attacker could then basically control the victims online govt account[s] without ever touching the physical device.
