    Oh do you think we could have Grayling and Harding?

    Double win for those who don't want it implemented.

    Given it's government, project delays will be guaranteed so get ready for 24-36 months of safe income.

    Mmm...unless infosys already have their chubby greasy hands all over it.

    Due to her track record they will scrap it due to the IT feck ups and the legal challenges.
    Outsourced of course...

    A digital ID is not really an ID card though? I've used these digital ID verification tools (as I'm sure others have) for things like DBS checks and it's a right faff having to re-do it every time. And I already have a government gateway ID (though I don't know what it is).

    Have they tried to make the ID card cover blue?

    If one goes down, they both go down. So no, I don't think that it's the end of Cummings (yet).


    The Daily express is even running a poll on who should be PM next... I'm not so sure Bozo is as safe as some would like to think... Linky-> DE

    Carry my Ausweis with me all the time, can no biggy.

    I suspect the UK version will be connected to the new digital GBP. That would allow the socialist tory party the type of control you voted for.
