1,8 miliardi di sterline ?
stanno facendo qualcosa di sbagliato…L’identità digitale (SPID in primis) porta benefici all’italia di oltre 45Bn/anno.
Fosse vero dimostrerebbe comprensione zero, demagogia 100…“All the time and resource that was going to be spent on a national ID scheme will go instead to where it’s most needed, such as helping with the cost of living,” Burnham’s spokesperson said in a statement.
…In November, Britain’s Office for Budget Responsibility estimated the cost of the ID scheme at about £1.8 billion ($2.4 billion) between financial years 2026/27 and 2028/29.
Lucy Powell, deputy leader of the Labour Party and a Burnham ally, said the savings from scrapping the scheme might not be large, but the move was “one small example of reprioritising”.
