The term UT is specifically created to divorce universal timekeeping from whatever UK's timezone is doing, whether DST is on or not, etc. and the derived term UTC for when started adding leap seconds.

GMT hasn't been a thing since UTC. It should be scrubbed from the vocabulary and old farts still using it should be shunned and reeducated.
