UK MPs slam digital ID rollout as a 'fiasco' after botched launch

Britain's digital ID push has been mauled by MPs after the government unveiled plans that appeared to arrive several steps ahead of actual policy. A report from Parliament's Home Affairs Committee this week concluded the government's handling of mandatory digital ID plans was "rushed, poorly thought out and failed to make a convincing case." It warned that ministers had already undermined public confidence with what MPs described as a rushed and inadequate announcement.
