Selective enforcement against enemies... we could see that coming.

A brexit supporting "enemy" of a brexit supporting government? Enemy of whom then? The regulator (ICO) is not the EU.
There is no brexit supporting government in the UK. Look at the actual negotiations, and you can see that the plan is to have brexit in name only.
Well that's manifestly untrue. Brexit was a manifesto promise and that is still their aim. That they are incompetent and the party subject to divisions, as a result of the extreme right hard brexit fools, are different issues entirely.
Pretty sure this is talked about in the "The Dictator’s Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Almost Always Good Politics"

By creating a system where everyone breaks the law you then control them since at anytime you can arrest them for breaking the law.

Of course! That's why Law is suppressed and replaced by legislation
