It looks like Digital ID is being pushed ahead with no regard to public opinion.
A whistleblower leaked an internal civil service job advert for an £81,000 Senior Civil Service (SCS) position.
The role advertised is for a Digital Deputy Director and is described as leading the operational delivery of Digital ID across government and delivering a “transformative national capability”.
So the British government appears to be accelerating plans for its controversial digital ID program behind closed doors.
