So, what's happening with Signal in the UK? They've previously said to the BBC that they would withdraw their services if this bill were to make its way into Law[0].

The last paragraph in the article says:

"Earlier this month, junior minister Stephen Parkinson appeared to concede ground, saying in parliament's upper chamber that Ofcom would only require them to scan content where "technically feasible"."

By this I understand that all communication needs to be scanned except End To End Encryption where is not "technically feasible"

There's secondary supporting legislation needs to go in and a framework from Ofcom yet. Signal indicated they'd leave of those went in.

"finally passed" isn't how I would have headlined this, interesting choice by Reuters.
