US Trade war response, UK

Starmer offered to reduce British taxes on digital "services" in general in exchange for lower US tariffs on UK exports. (We can presume that this includes digital dis-services as well as true digital services.)

This offer was foolish in two ways, which become obvious when we note that the biggest threat to society, is taxing business too little, and that the T-usk regime is a part of that threat.

1. The deal would increase the power of companies that have too much power already, thus making them an even bigger threat.
2. To offer an enemy a lasting concession, in exchange for not attacking you just now, is a bad bargain, thus a change for the worse.

It would have been wiser to threaten to increase the taxes on digital "services" — either all of them, or some of them.
