Will GOV.UK Wallet and One Login become de facto digital ID despite scrapping the national scheme?

Incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham is scrapping the national digital ID programme introduced under Keir Starmer, including mandatory use for right-to-work checks. One Login, the GOV.UK Wallet, digital driving licences and a government app will continue rollout for accessing services. COVID vaccination certificates previously required proof of status for entry to venues and events, prompting fears of similar function creep if digital tools expand to cover work, benefits, travel and more.
