A record stall owner in London says leaving the EU has made travel to DJ events in Europe harder due to tighter tax rules for bringing materials. He says records must be declared and that taxes apply when items are treated as goods to sell. He describes needing to declare the value of records when sending them or buying items abroad, with tax due when they enter the country. After Labour lost heavily in early May local elections, debate over Brexit has intensified. Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised to rebuild relationships with Europe to strengthen the economy, trade, and defence. Wes Streeting called Brexit a catastrophic mistake and urged rejoining the EU, while some Labour figures avoided or declined to endorse rejoining.
"Now I have to declare the value of the records I take because if I don't, I get taxed because they say, Oh, you're taking in records to sell. There's tax on them.' If I send a record and I put the value, or vice versa, if I buy something and it's the value, I've got to pay the tax when it comes into the country, said Skates, who goes by his DJ name."
"Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised to rebuild Britain's relationship with Europe by putting Britain at the heart of Europe, so that we are stronger on the economy, stronger on trade, stronger on defence almost 10 years after 52 percent of Britons voted to leave the bloc. Wes Streeting, the former health secretary and now would-be contender in a possible leadership contest to succeed Starmer, has called Brexit a catastrophic mistake, suggesting the UK rejoin the bloc to help rebuild our economy and trade."
"But some among the Labour leadership have shunned the Brexit debate. Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called it a bit odd while Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has refused to say whether he thinks the UK should rejoin the EU. The Labour Party's membership is overwhelmingly pro-EU."
