    “Tony Blair’s ID card scheme which Britain rejected in 2006 is back — rebranded as ‘Digital ID’.

    ▪️Back then the policy collapsed after public backlash, but now the same idea, announced by King Charles, is returning in a far more powerful form: one system linking banking, health records, taxes and government services to a single digital account.

    ▪️Blair’s 6.1 billion force Digital ID in failed in 2006, as 2.96 million people petitioned against it.

    ▪️The initiative was brought back to life in 2025.

    🤔Who’s driving the push?

  7. @afewbugs @beecycling @PositiveMoneyUK
    But public, electronic money is also quite possible!

    Here's PoMo again, in 2024:
    "A digital pound, also known as a UK central bank digital currency (#CBDC), is expected to be introduced by the Bank of England and Treasury in the second half of this decade. Through the ‘seigniorage’ benefits of lower borrowing costs, it can be estimated that, by 2029, a digital pound would increase government fiscal space by between around £15bn a year in lower adoption scenarios and upwards of £30bn a year in higher adoption scenarios. This would be enough to cover most, if not all, of the £28bn a year green prosperity plan previously proposed by the Labour Party."

    Sounds too wild ? No, it's entirely possible, here's @BankOfEngland (not that handle, they aren't here yet):
    "A digital pound would be like a digital form of cash – a banknote for the digital era. Like banknotes, it would be issued directly by the Bank of England."
    "In October 2025, we published an update on the design phase of the digital pound project. We are currently developing a detailed blueprint..."

  8. "This research showed that emerging types of PETs [Privacy-Enhancing Technologies], like pseudonymization, zero-knowledge proofs, and secure multiparty computing, might feasibly be applied to digital currency systems such as the digital pound to minimize the sharing of data both with the central bank and between payment intermediaries, giving users greater control over their data and enhancing user privacy."

  16. @pikesley Hopefully the #DigitalPound will be joining it in the dustbin of history very shortly!

  17. I get the whole need for the to explore so called (goodness I hope that label doesn't catch on) but I can see them making a right mess of it

    Payment merchants, get ready to pick up the pieces and lock yourselves in. I know you're going to do it

  18. @sdjohns IANAE[*] but "in 2021 only 15% of transactions involved physical money", kind of implies that there might be a bit of #DigitalPound going on already. Perhaps a task force should be formed to look into this... 🧐

  19. HM Treasury and Bank of England announce plans for a digital pound

    The BoE has launched a consultation on the introduction of its own digital pound, inviting private companies and members of the public to provide feedback regarding its design and implementation.

  20. I'd love to know what problem a "digital pound" is supposed to solve.

    My guess is that it's the problem of "how can we make sure that some mate of some government minister who runs a company doing crypto stuff can get a lucrative contract"
