<i>Great to see UK Government IT modernising. Can&#x27;t wait for HMRC to catch up!</i><p>You haven&#x27;t seen that many publicly funded technology projects, I take it? GDS are a monopoly, and the govt don&#x27;t care about using what they&#x27;re making - they&#x27;re just going through the motions, spending the money.<p>So, while this is notable from a technical pov, don&#x27;t kid yourself that this&#x27;ll be anything other than a billion pound cash cow for the nepotistic web of government.<p>How&#x27;s that nhs digitisation (NPfIT) going? Oh, it isn&#x27;t?
