> If you voted for this Tory-lite government

If you agree that Brexit happened under the Tories and not Labour, then we can also agree that THIS order is happening under the newly elected "Labour Party" and not the "Tories", or so-called "Tory-lite" names.

It's completely pointless trying to remove accountability of this government's illogical actions and then to immediately resort to blaming the previous government for bad decisions like this one.

Just admit that this is under the Labour government.

RIPA and key disclosure law came in under Tony Blair's labour government as well, along with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Data_Bill_200..., arguably the precursor idea to the IPA that this notice was issued under.

Huh? You completely misunderstood what I meant by that moniker. In no way at all does it absolve them of blame - quite the opposite, it's calling them nearly as bad, so close that the difference doesn't really matter.
