In May we said Nigel Farage probably didn't owe tax on his £5m gift.

The Guardian now reports the gift followed talks where Farage said he'd need £5m to return to frontline politics.

*If* that's right, we think there's a high risk of a £3m tax bill - payable by Reform.

This is an aspect of the internet that isn't appreciated enough. As the newly-monetised YouTube mogul that I am, I get like twice as much money for a video if a lot of Americans watch it because advertisers are willing to pay more money for American eyeballs. A lot of Americans have a lot of money.

Woah - Google can be held liable for the content of YouTube Partners' videos because of the commercial relationship, the EU's highest court just ruled curia.europa.eu/site/upload/...

Luxembourg, 16 July 2026

Judgment of the Court in Case C-421/24 | AGCOM (Online gambling)
Multimedia platforms: Google may be held liable for the YouTube videos of
a content creator with whom it has a commercial partnership
On 19 July 2022, the Italian Communications Regulator (AGCOM) imposed a fine of €750 000 on Google Ireland Ltd
and ordered it to remove several YouTube videos which promoted online gambling, in breach of Italian law.
Those videos were uploaded by a content creator who had a commercial partnership agreement with Google
providing, inter alia, for a sharing of the revenue generated by the advertising shown before each video. Before
concluding that agreement, Google had reviewed the content of the videos, the theme of the channel, the most
viewed or newest videos and the associated metadata.
Google brought an action against that decision before an Italian administrative court, relying on the EU law
applicable to electronic commerce, 1 and specifically the exemption from liability which hosting service providers
enjoy in respect of the content uploaded by third parties. 2 AGCOM submits that that exemption is not applicable in
the present case because gambling activities are excluded from the scope of the EU legislation on electronic
commerce.
The case was brought before the Council of State, Italy, which decided to refer questions for a preliminary ruling to
the Court of Justice.
In its judgment, the Court notes, first, that EU law excludes gambling, and all activities linked to it, from the
scope of harmonisation in electronic commerce because of the profound moral, religious and cultural
differences between the Member States in that regard.
However, the activity of online hosting is not intrinsically linked to gambling, since it consists in storing, in a
neutral manner, content provided by the user, without any promotional intent.
Consequently, the hosting of advertising content relating to online gambling is therefore not covered by the
exclusion …
