So what is Labour's position on this? Aren't they demanding the exact same thing using slightly different rhetoric?
The only principled parliamentary opposition to undermining encryption that I'm aware of has been coming from David Davis, conservative MP and arch-brexiteer [1].
Maybe there are others like him, but this is by no means a polarising issue in British politics.
