True. Anyone know if this new IP law allows the gov to do this? I.e. if they tried to prosecute and it came to light that the logs were obtained using a MITM attack, would the evidence be nullified?

It would probably come under the "Equipment Interference" section, which legalises hacking of devices.

I don't know.

I imagine that MITM on a large scale is par for the course for GCHQ.

Sure, but can data obtained by that be used in a court of law. I /think/ those are two different things (but not sure).
