The UK has a separate data protection law (UK GDPR[1]) which is the more or less same as the EU. The current government held a consultation on possible changes[2], but I would doubt they could actually carry through on making a significant change given their current weak and divided state and the likelihood they will lose in the next general election.

This is very speculative. My guess is that changes will be made, but they'll be incremental and some effort will be made to ensure broad alignment with eu GDPR so we don't have another SCC-syle mess (where some major EU to USA data transfers were determined to be illegal.)
They could be gambling on us not enforcing it (having shown signs that we think it's excessive). But others have said this is more about the Digital Markets Act.

*I get a GDPR-looking privacy popup on Threads in the UK so I'm inclined to agree
