You can tell. Shifty eyes, you know.

There was a "successful" ransomware attack on a met police warrant card supplier, Digital ID, in 2023. 47,000 personnel were told their data "may have been affected". The data they had was only names, photo, rank, vetting status and payroll numbers. Even so, Oops.
Hasn't Call Me Andy just cancelled digital ID to allegedly pay for removing VAT from energy bills?

He's cancelled "some" of it, the "britCard", the rest of the digital ID project is still going forward, its just relying on other forms.
Groan! It did sound too good to be true. Suppose Blair is pushing this.
I spy resentment.
Who would have thought it.

Are you married?
What does a piece of paper have to do with having a successful relationship?

A person who enters marriage (in the UK) enters a binding contract to share and merge their finances and assets. A valid marriage is where both parties freely enter this agreement and accept the consequences if subsequently they decide not to be married.
Do you think these rules should apply, to people who have not entered into such a contract? Perhaps a person, invites their girlfriend or boyfriend to move in and enjoy the house that they own, without needing to pay rent or bills etc.. Do you think such a person should have to give a portion of this home away, if the relationship comes to an end?
The governments thinks this is a good idea.
But you ignored my question...
So again, what does a piece of paper have to do with having a successful relationship?
Because human interaction has nothing to do with societal 'contracts'...
If you believe that a 'contract' means there is a greater chance of a lasting successful relationship then you are sorely mistaken...
Look at the divorce rate and the subsequent consequences for those who entered into said 'contract'

Your question seemed to be a random one unrelated to the government proposals. I concluded you weren't aware of them.But you ignored my question...

40% of marriages fail, few people would take those odds for hospital procedures.
A marriage can sometimes hold people together who do not fancy the process and cost of divorce. That is sad, when life is short.
Unmarried couples have fewer ties.
if the definition of a successful relationship is both wanting to be together, then I doubt it makes any significant difference. Currently, of course ending the two relationships is vastly different.
Well done, we got there
Next, since a piece of paper makes no difference to a successful relationship why do you believe those with that piece of paper and those without should be treated differently when it comes to financial arrangements?

Because they haven't entered into a contract. Marriage is a contract, an explicit agreement to share everything.Well done, we got there

Can you think of other contracts that you haven't agreed to, explicitly or implicitly that can bind you?
You mean that pointless piece of paper which does not discern between the financial contributions of married or unmarried couples sharing everything but only penalising the unmarried victims?
Gotcha.
Glad to see that the law will recognise the efforts of unmarried contributors now.
