Re: Snooper's Charter
Cyberghost is good, I use the free version on laptop and tablet. They don't keep records of sites you visit so authorities can only see you visited a Cyberghost server in whatever country you choose to be in at that moment
The paid version gives more options such as more countries to choose from and faster servers

Re: Snooper's Charter
Torrentfreak does regular reviews on VPNs - here's the latest I could find
https://torrentfreak.com/vpn-anonymous-review-160220/
(lots of comments too so a great resource)
I seem to hear only good things about AirVPN and will probably be looking at them very soon. £50-ish a year seems about the ballpark.
