Seems there's a reason reputable news outlets aren't reporting this:
> The government has sent a first signal of its intention for UK data protection laws to part company with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. In a Financial Times article last week, culture secretary Oliver Dowden said he would use the appointment of a new information commissioner to focus not just on privacy but on the use of data for ‘economic and social goals’.
So we don't know the UK is going to depart from the GDPR, but despite that, this website is reporting that it will.

You can't have it both ways. If he does announce a list that isn't the same as the EU's they'll have scrapped GDPR.
