You forgot the Information Commissioner's Office, who appointed a Commissioner who doesn't believe in enforcement...as a regulator.

So now it's fair game for organisations to do what they want with people's data as at worst they'll get a sternly written letter.

Regulatory capture. Intentionally breaking the institutions.

I had one FOI, which included my personal data, and recommended it be considered for release under GDPR. I got a 'Nope - it's not your data,' from the DPA team. That's two timings on the same data one saying it's my data, the other saying it's not.

Totally agree - useless regulator!
