Excellent piece in The Register arguing that ID Cards could actually be dead in this parliament.

Whilst I fear that too much political capital has been associated with ID Cards to write it off, the piece extrapolates the available information nicely, factoring in the likely forthcoming political events. This starts next week with Reid’s Home Office review, which will need some close attention to find out where the ID Card projects sits in the priorities. Leaks seem to be consistently imply that key parts of the projects are getting postponed….

Nick Robinsons analysis also adds weight to this: Reid likely to postpone rows, especially costly ones. Fingers crossed.
