@CppGuy @BonehouseWasps @tayfonay In completely unrelated news, I give you this:
Tuesday: government issues a report saying that the reason why prisons are dangerously overcrowded is because of successive governments doing populist policies to increase the length of prison sentences

Wednesday: government does a populist policy to increase the length of prison sentences
So it turns out the #DVLA Drivers & Vehicles account discriminates against Irish passports.
Just spent the afternoon in a chat queue.
You can use a UK, or a non-UK passport which is registered with the Home Office (for visa purposes) to prove your identity. But because Irish passports aren’t registered with HO they are unable to verify my identity - despite issuing me with a Gov Gateway account, a HMRC account, and driving licences for decades.
