Sadly the Labour Party is just as bad. Their criticism of the Online Harms Bill (now the Online Safety Bill) was that it did not go far enough. Violating international law is actually a feature for the current Tory government, who has made it a fetish of asserting sovereignty, forgetting other nations are sovereign too and Britain can hardly afford the consequences of retaliation by the US or EU (as the Northern Ireland peace agreement is explicitly conditioned on the UK's continued membership in the ECHR). The only thing that could cause a reconsideration is that UK politicians are very fond of evading accountability by using encrypted messaging services, in total violation of public records law, like Boris Johnson's use of WhatsApp.
