It’s currently £85 for a passport, £34 for a driving licence (£10 more if you don’t apply online). People in poverty just don’t have that cash to spare.

Even if they introduced a free photo ID card it’s not the point. Vulnerable people will still be disadvantaged because of paper trails that are required to get ID in the first place. Even free ID disenfranchises people.

This "solution" to the non-existent problem of significant voter impersonation is really the solution to the Tories' problem of having made poorer citizens' lives bleak and not wanting them to vote against their right-wing oppressors.

Prediction - if GOV get away with this, they will introduce a GOV photo-ID scheme (probably outsourced to G4S or Sodexo) & it will be a bureaucratic nightmare, completely fail, and most applicants won't get a card in time for the election. Mission accomplished.
