Think of big picture on ID

-

Never having had either a driving licence or passport, I’ve never had a need for photo ID. The requiremen­t for this for local and national elections is flawed and reeks of Tory gerrymande­ring again to stop certain groups of people voting.

It isn’t as though there aren’t other choices – a birth certificat­e, tax bill, utility bill or even a NI number on official documentat­ion are just as valid.
