▻https://theintercept.com/2018/01/30/u-k-court-finds-governments-surveillance-law-unlawful

The U.K. government’s mass surveillance powers were deemed unlawful on Tuesday in a court ruling that could force changes to the country’s spy laws.

The official line from the three party leaders is the emergency legislation to be pushed through by the Executive with the collaboration of Her Majesty’s Opposition next week, is merely the continuation of the “status quo” on surveillance. No new measures, they say, and some new safeguards too. What we are being led to believe is that a brave Nick Clegg faced down calls for a new Communications Data Bill (the Snooper’s Charter) and this legislation is merely a tidying up exercise.
