I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.
That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Reform UK Councillor David Thomas has an attendance record at Torfaen Council of 60%… absence.
He’s apparently Reform UK’s Director for Wales.
You may remember him as the Councillor who wrote offensive songs ‘Spack Attack’ and ‘Pussystomp’ then tried to deny it.

One of the biggest barriers to students in rural areas accessing vocational studies through FE colleges is that they live so far away, and that travel costs a fortune.
I asked the Education Secretary what plans she has to put an end to that barrier.

Not sure you can say this isn't tax avoidance @danneidle.bsky.social - whether they did this due to a purposeful decision, or through incompetence they've still tried to avoid paying tax.
Amazing story in The Times. Reform UK failed to pay VAT to HMRC on its sales (tickets, merchandise). About £400k in all.
Not tax avoidance. Not tax evasion. They just didn't realise when you sell stuff you have to charge VAT.
