Its easyjet and its a flight within the UK
yep, you can
If you're flying internally within the UK or SOME of Ireland, then depending on the airline, yes. But you really have to check beforehand. Not worth the disappointment if you can't get on the plane!

Aslong as its photographic ID

yes, and she could also use an expired passport. Some airlines even let you use a credit card.

Easyjet are fine. In fact, the ID checks on domestic flights aren't very tight at all, they just glance at your ID. Ryanair however won't accept anything but a passport.

Within the UK, yes. And as far as I know, to the ROI as well.

Should be fine. Phone them to double-check in case they've changed the policy but I'm 99% sure it's alright.
If Your Flying Within Britain Then Yes
In the UK then yes :yep:.
If I don't have a passport can I use my provisional?
Can I fly from England to Poland with provisional

No. If you're a UK citizen you need a passport.

A couple of my friends have used their Provisional Driving License for flights within the UK. You would need a passport for going outside the UK though.
