> As I understand it, most UK public are in favour of this bill

Do you understand this from polling? Can't trust UK media outlets on public opinion, they push, they don't pull. If the public doesn't agree with them, they all will run variations of the same story, aimed at the same targets, for years until they do.

Honestly It is more an impression than understanding. Maybe the lack of attention in various petitions, e.g. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/601932 Maybe the lack of mentioning of "caveats" of the bill from major news outlet
