Not made clear in this article - this bill will be passed back to the House of Commons to debate/amend before going back to the House of Lords. This was not the final say.

The Commons are even more hungry for pervasive online surveillance than the Lords - at least, while Labour and the Tories are in power.

Reform UK (the party currently leading in the polls by a large margin) is the only party that loudly opposed the draconian measures within the Online Safety Act and promise to repeal it
