You should be able to get a photo ID, I would think. GB isn't that backward. How did you get your expired CC?

They have deregulation, though.
Also, bureaucracy is like the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects it and yet it keeps striking.

The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

Funnily enough, I've decided to do Catch-22 for my book study this year, by applying trauma theory to the main character. Oh boy, I had a bad time... not the book but the planning and writing of the essay. I went and reread most of Catch-22 and found the meaning I missed out on (it is actually really good) but similarly to my creative writing I just couldn't write anything in class. Something about the time pressure and not being able to look at all my sources, as well as forgetting to print paper copies of the sources I wanted in, stopped me from doing what I had got in my head. I realised I could cheat the system by writing at home and then using what I wrote in home in the class writing sessions, but far too late. It's ironic that I can only get writing outside of class...
Fortunately I have been getting other unexpected successes but a big fat Not Achieved in English on the record for my last year of school won't be impressive. I've decided not to worry about it too much and keep going, which means turning my half-written essay into a seminar. Busy weekend ahead.
If you don't know much about Catch-22, the quote captures a lot of the spirit of it. Like a lot. Too much, in fact.
Ring up your local council (or check their website) and ask for free photo ID. You can't vote without it anyway. You can proceed from there.
It sounds like quite a useful thing to do in any event, to save needing your driving licence or passport for those things you need a photo id for.
It's very unexciting - you upload a recent photo of yourself, enter your details, and then your council sends you back a legal voting ID. Certainly better than relying on a 15-year-old passport or the like.

I got my last debit card before we moved.
NatWest only accepts a passport or a driver's license.
The answer should be to change banks, but they have all made it a lot harder recently. I am convinced it is to make life harder for immigrants, but perhaps just everyone.
Yes, if they only accept passports and drivers' licenses, ask them (publicly if possible) why they're discriminating against the disabled and/or those with mobility issues and then change banks.
It is of course legally your money, so if you want to close your account, they'll do as many checks as they can if you insist loudly enough.

I can't close my account. If I want to close my account I have to first log in and I can't do that because my debit card expired.
Generally speaking to get ID you need one of a handful of acceptable documents to prove who you are and your address. With banks and utility companies going paperless its getting harder to get acceptable documentation.
So I was griping about 'IT' being lazy writing.

Dialectic (Greek: διαλεκτική, dialektikḗ; related to dialogue; German: Dialektik), also known as the dialectical method, is a discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth through reasoned argumentation.
Dialectic resembles debate, but the concept excludes subjective elements such as emotional appeal and rhetoric (in the modern pejorative sense).[1][2]
Foreigners, with their foreign concepts.
What strange thing is this?

Stranger on Netflix is pretty good. Korean, subtitled, about government corruption and ridding the DOJ of bad apples.
