Chuck the DPA2018 and GDPR away; say hello to the UK_GDPR and a revised DPA2018 in February next year
Given that the Conservatives are forming a majority Government for the next five years, it is clear that the UK will leave the European Union and implement an expected New Withdrawal Agreement by January 31st in 2020. This means Exit Day is January 31st 2020, and the “Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (EU Exit) Regulations” SI 419/ 2019 will come into effect. Note added in Feb 2020: when I wrote the blog, there was no finalised New Withdrawal Agreement
