There was an episode of Yes, Minister in which Jim Hacker learned that he had been bugged by MI5 while in opposition. He asked Sir Humphrey about it. Sir Humphrey asked him whether he trusted the opposition party and Jim made it clear that he didn’t. Sir Humphrey explained that the opposition didn’t trust the government when the government was in opposition so governments always bug members of the opposition party.

Note the original date. This was very timely back then. Today nobody needs to plant microphones. The perps post everything on social media themselves.
