The UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill is also a chance to assess and reduce the UK’s dependence on large US corporations for vital government infrastructure.
Other countries like France and the Netherlands are already debating how to do this, such as through open source software.
As we saw with the AWS outage, we need digital sovereignty to keep the UK economy switched on.

The UK government must take cybersecurity seriously to get growth.
Key to this is strong encryption for all.
They must put guarantees in the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and quit trying to force a backdoor into secure systems like they did with Apple.
Otherwise we'll be open to more attacks.

Seeing safeguards over our data as barriers to growth is folly.
The UK's new Data Act has put into question the adequacy agreement with the EU.
Losing it would impose £1-1.6 billion in legal and compliance costs on UK businesses alone, as well as threaten EU-UK trade agreements and the Windsor Framework.

What’s data protection law got to do with the UK budget?
Information security requirements contained within are key to growth.
Just look at how the Jaguar Land Rover cyber attack hurt the UK economy.
That’s why the data watchdog must start enforcing these rules properly.

2,000 more people are to be made unemployed as the Chinese owners of British Steel refuse the UK's bailout package.
In other news, China floods the market with cheap steel made in its country, protecting its own countrymen, whilst not giving a shit about international trade and cooperation.
Never mind, Lieutenant #Reeves will rescue us.
