She adds that she had always “hated” the surname she inherited from her father, which included a profanity that she was teased for at school. “I didn’t want to be associated with it,” she says.Changing her surname to match her mother’s felt like a relief and Maggie says she now feels “more like myself”.”I wanted to be part of my mum’s family,” she says.Dr Becca Bland, a family counsellor and coach specialising in estrangement, says that people who are distanced from a relative or are estranged might choose to change their surname as a psychological defence mechanism to “help you…

“This reprioritisation of public resource shows a change in direction towards improving everyday life and strengthening local economies over expensive national government schemes.”Plans for a digital ID scheme had initially been introduced by Sir Keir ahead of Labour’s conference last year. At the time, Starmer argued that mandatory digital ID for workers would make it easier to clamp down on immigrants working illegally and modernise the state.As well as tackling illegal immigration, Starmer said a digital ID system would enable citizens to prove identity to access key services quickly instead of having to hunt for utility bills.The Office for Budget…
