Why are British people so batshit about the idea of ID cards? You already have passports, functionally the same but in a worse format. ID cards are a very practical thing. You can (or could) even use them to travel around Europe! And not having ID cards didn't stop the British government from implementing mass surveillance.

British people are actually pretty down on the whole ID cards thing, that's why it was such a big deal when New Labour tried to introduce them. Basically everywhere else in the EU actually has them.

Note: A smaller version of a passport is apparently bad because "centralized database" or something. I don't think people opposing it actually know what they're actually worried about.

A significant difference is that ID cards as proposed were supposed to be mandatory for all citizens, passports never have been.

What problems would an identity card solve for people, rather than police or business?

That one's straightforward.

Why have they put the word independent in their name when their only strong characteristic is being anti-brexit? I suspect they may not be good at this but honestly I think they are just lazily hissy fitting and helping the next tory/lib dem coalition in. Any money they will primarily stand candidates in marginals that hurt Labour.
