“#Labour figures took £10,000 gifts from #Google and #YouTube ahead of tax U-turn: Keir #Starmer’s Labour Party backtracked on plan to hike #DigitalServicesTax to 10% after being showered with freebies”

by Adam Ramsay in @openDemocracy

“Labour’s shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds, his senior parliamentary assistant (who is his wife), and Keir Starmer’s political director all attended Glastonbury festival in June as guests of YouTube, which is owned by Google. Including accommodation and ‘hospitality’, Reynolds estimates his Glastonbury package for two was worth £3,377 – significantly more than the cost of two regular tickets, which were £335 each.

The next day, reports emerged that Labour had ditched its proposal to hike tax on digital businesses like Google.”
