Considering that https://secure.gateway.gov.uk tells me about
*selecting* a valid certificate - it could mean that your *client*
became expired recently.

You'll always get errno 20 that way as openssl does not use any
Certified Authority information unless told to do so.

Try this:

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect secure.gateway.gov.uk:443 \
-CApath /etc/ssl/certs </dev/null
