Huawei to be removed from UK mobile networks by 2027
The re-evaluation of Huawei’s place in 5G networks came after the United States applied sanctions to the company citing national security concerns. Previously, the UK was OK with Huawei’s presence as long as it was not included in the cores of the networks. According to the BBC, the new restrictions will also affect Huawei’s broadband hardware.
Ever since the UK came to its first decision over Huawei’s involvement in 5G networks, the UK government has held to the sensible notion that equipment in mobile networks should come from a range of companies. As it stands, the only major alternatives to Huawei in the sector are Ericsson and Nokia, which provide more expensive equipment. At the time, the government said it was going to encourage open standards which would reduce barriers to entry in the sector so more players could get involved.
Concerning broadband equipment, the government has said that there will be a two-year transition window which will provide more time for diversification of hardware from different suppliers. It said that Nokia is dominant in this sector too and it doesn’t want the firm to have a monopoly.
The government said that the U.S. sanctions only affect future equipment from Huawei and therefore doesn’t believe there is any justification for removing 2G, 3G, or 4G equipment from networks. As most people are still using 4G devices, they should not notice any interference with data connections.

I have personally never liked Huawei phones or them as a company so i am glad they're being kicked out of the 5G business.

Not surprised tbh. China keeps getting companies removed from other countries for what they do

I've never been a hater or a fan of Huawei, but i've never had any issues with anything manufactured by them. But I can understand by the spying issue as it would be a lot easier for them to access their own hardware.
