On what do you base this ? Because as far as I can tell, its not true.

The Investigatory Powers Act 2016 is the UK’s latest iteration of its telecoms / Internet surveillance framework. It includes rules around the retention of communications data by Internet access providers and other telecoms operators.
These rules have changed considerably since the Act came into force, thanks to ongoing litigation.
One thing which has not changed is that the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 does not impose a data retention obligation on all ISPs.

Also, again as far as I can tell, any that do only record Source IP/Port, Destination IP/Port, Protocol, and size of data transferred (this is pretty much all thats available to them anyway). VPNs do not all use the same protocol, they can use tcp or udp (or both), just the same as http/https/dns etc also use tcp or udp, so you cannot reliably tell if the traffic is a VPN or not - at best you could try and guess from the port numbers as some default to using specific port numbers.
