The UK will neither confirm nor deny that it’s killing encryption

That means they are.
Reducing UK security is probably not a good idea at the best of times, let alone these days with global tensions increasing.
The EU is trying to do this at an EU level (and has been for years). As well as an individual country level, Sweden seems likely to pass a similar law in 2026.

I don't have enough middle fingers. Can we just not do this crap?
Use a few bazooka fingers, maybe they'll stop for the time being
I absolutely detest it when politicians are just this fuckin’ clueless. I rather hope the lot of them have their bank accounts tampered with.
Confirmed
Time for pgp then.
From now on; whenever they can't find incriminating messages elsewhere, they will come to you. You suspicious, secret, something to hide-guy.
Everyone deserves private communication.
Let them come.
Welp...
Guess they don't really need to confirm that which is blatantly obvious to the casual observer...
