Seriously why has there been no legal challenge yet? It would be easy money for any half decent brief. My pensioner bus pass is valid ID my student daughter's railcard is not. The biggest difference other than our ages is that she is a lot more photogenic than I am, clearly discrimination either way.

The veteran ID thing doesn't make any sense anyway because if you look at the already acceptable forms of ID, the system is already designed to enfranchise more old person IDs in favour of young person IDs

Voter ID list gives few options for younger voters

Long-awaited details of the government’s voter ID scheme have now finally been released including details of which IDs will be accepted at the polling station.With no alternatives for

Well he's inherited it (he clearly didn't oppose it while Chancellor), I haven't heard him oppose it.

It should have nothing to do with SPADS. Those people are just paid sycophants, groomed by the relevant party. A professional class of unelected mandarins
