The UK Gov are massively overstepping here and putting all our online security at risk by even asking for it!!! People buy Apple because they’re secure; implementing backdoors would destroy this!
Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying

Something I learnt on SquirrelTok - 'squirrel' is the second hardest English word for Francophones to master after 'Worcestershire'.

We can't let British democracy turn into a plaything for overseas billionaires with short attention spans.
At PMQs, I urged the Prime Minister to work with us to make sure power always sits with the voters, not wealthy foreign oligarchs.
