Telcos in the UK have cautiously embraced a cross-party committee's findings on the government's latest push for greater surveillance of Brits' online activity—however, dissenting voices remain. "The MPs and peers on the joint committee have given the spooks all they wanted, while recommending tweaks and polishes here and there to some of the more obvious hooks and sharp edges," said security expert professor Ross Anderson, immediately after the panel's report was published on Thursday morning. A raft of recommendations were put forward by the panel in its 198-page report, but significantly, the politicos—who were granted a very short time to pore over the home office's convoluted draft Investigatory Powers Bill (the latest in a long line of Snoopers' Charter bids)—did not outright tear into the report, by demanding a complete rewrite.

Mr Starmer said: “This year of all years we shouldn’t have it. "That money, if it’s available, should be spent on key workers – those who have been on the front line through this pandemic.” Speaking to LBC Radio, Mr Starmer called for a cross-party discussion about what to do.
