If you’re in the UK, cancel your iCloud subscription.
(Or the government will have access to all your data. Just like how things work in China.)
Your best bet is to take offline backups yourself as any cloud service provider that does business in the UK will have to either do the same or leave the market.

PS. This is why we left the UK ten years ago. So we could on our own terms and wouldn’t have to do so later on. https://ar.al/notes/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-fish/

Unless one can encrypt data stored on iCloud before uploading it yeah.
We will also point out that iCloud is not a reliable data store either I just had the folders of reader app that I’m fond of simply evaporate causing a lot of inconvenience to me to recover files I was reading.
