And yet a few layers deeper, a lot has changed. The bill is dead, and anyone who wants to revive it knows they need significant political capital to do so.
Politics ain't tech - a non-binding agreement that signals "we're not going to do this, at least for the next 3-5 years" is a win in politics.

What on earth are you talking about? The bill was passed by the Commons and then will be passed by the Lords and then will become law. https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3137 https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3137
- EGreg 3y agoExactly. What are they talking about? Not only will it become law but in 3-5 years they will continue to tighten the screws.
- varispeed 3y agoThis should be classed as an attempt at violating human rights and possibly other violations. After all this worthless bill cost millions to develop and if people knew it is not workable, then they de facto defrauded the tax payer.
- bananapub 3y agothis is a very silly take, especially in the case of the UK. what little actual legal concept of human rights the UK has is also something the current lunatics in government are trying to eliminate also, though.
