At this point its getting ridiculous.

Their point 2 even states that even if you do pay them, they will still use cookies to track you and show personalised content

Purchase a subscription to not get personalised ads? So even when you pay, you still get ads, they are just not personalised.

ublock origin blocks most of these trackers.

Its not even an option. They will still use cookies even if you pay. They’d just use it for their own use

It probably is illegal in the EU, but I have no idea whether it would be illegal in the UK, too.

To my knowledge, the problem is the same in the EU, but there are legal initiatives by some NGOs (NOYB) that argue that having only these two options (pay for subscription or consent to personal information being sold) should be illegal, and that newspapers should be required to offer a third option (pay only the amount your information would be sold for, which is only a few cents, without the subscription).

As of last I checked, people are trying it out and seeing if they can get away with it under the way GDPR is enforced. Hopefully that gets hammered out in court.
