It is almost impossible to have a coherent response to govt's plans for digital ID because it keeps changing its mind about what it's for. With Darren Jones at the helm, the new plan is to use it to "shut down the legacy state" www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

This story gets more ridiculous by the day But now we know airlines are giving passenger data to the Home Office, who are passing information about travel* to HMRC, who then use it to make decisions about stopping benefits (*or, in this case, not travel) www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Morris-Almond is one of 23,500 people who have had their child benefit stopped by HMRC in the past few weeks as part of the government’s crackdown on benefit fraud.

But unlike many others, she did not encounter border control or travel to an airport, suggesting that the Home Office immigration operations could have had access to passenger records.

In response to earlier inquiries, the Home Office said operators of international passenger services were “required by law to provide information to the Home Office about each service and the people onboard for international journeys to and from the UK”.

They said the information was needed for immigration, customs and police purposes including border security and law enforcement.

On Friday my phone blew up with messages about BritCard. I don’t think it’s a tech test. It’s a trust test. 2m+ signatures against already. If trust isn’t designed in from day one, BritCard risks repeating the same failures that killed past ID schemes. My take medium.com/writing-by-i...

GOV.UK One Login is a mess. Alongside reported security issues & missing features like delegation & support for business, it breaks the government’s identity assurance principles: it's impossible to switch easily between different One Login accounts. How did it ever pass a service assessment?
A warning message within the One Login app — stating that everything will be deleted from the app if the user logs out from one of their One Login accounts in order to log in in again with another one, breaking the government's own identity assurance principles.

I'm seeing so many takes around parts of the "ID card" melange, I have to add a few. It's not about cards. It's about registers. A register is a definitive 'true source' of data, about people, places, buildings, whatever.
