> The Tories are obsessed with weakening privacy and data protection laws

True, but from the quoted article:

> I'm not sure I've seen anything by way of potential legislation that's had as broadly based a political consensus behind it.

I'm afraid I don't expect anything to change if Labour win the next general election.

I'm not saying you're wrong and Labour will change anything, but those quotes refer to different versions of the bill. Your second quote is for the initial draft, from 2019, while the first refers to the revised, recently passed, bill (among other things).
