I work for the UK Government Digital Service - my views don't necessarily represent my employer.
There are lots of comments here around the idea of whether you would work for a government if you disagreed with their political views.
What I love about working on GDS projects is the potential to improve so many people's lives. People often don't have a choice when it comes to interacting with government - it's often a legal requirement, and there's only one way to do it.
So, even if sometimes I may disagree with aspects of policy, the reality is there is going to be a digital service based on it. And I can help a lot of people by being part of making it as simple as possible.
