Is there some sort of way short of constitutional amendment (or UK equivalent) to avoid having to defend this "legal challenge" every time it comes up? This is so exhausting I don't even bother clicking on the article, I just write a check to the EFF.
I feel like the toothpaste is already out of the tube on effective, low effort, decentralized encryption, but there's plenty of $$$ government contracting dollars to be made integrating government systems with megacorp datastorage, so there will always be someone else pushing to make this happen.
In the real world one would get the cold shoulder. In the UK, they get the Boston Tea Party and the IRA as a response for the British government being smart.
Could you name a “far right” policy of the Reform Party?
From where I’m looking, they are to the left of the centre-right Conservatives. For example, Reform propose lifting the 2-child benefit cap, whereas the Tories would keep it.
Reform’s proposed changes to “indefinite leave to remain” policy would put the UK in-line with many of our neighbours in the EU. There’s nothing “far right” about a country having borders, and having a national (rather than international) welfare offering.
I would like to remind you that many of the idiots pushing for this enjoy the use of iPhones and their encrypted services. I think that if the UI were to regularly remind the user that their data is no longer properly protected, that some of those idiots may be under more political pressure.
The UK Home Office demanded in early September that Apple create a means to allow officials access to encrypted cloud backups, but stipulated that the order applied only to British citizens’ data, according to people briefed on the matter.
Is there any information about this demand, was it in the form of a TCN?
Both Apple and the Home Office are restricted from discussing TCNs by law.
Didn't Apple win a court case recently where they could openly discuss why they removed ADP in the UK?

The Reform party, a far-right party who tell us they will retract all these laws; not that I believe them.
