Swift row Phillipson says she won't take more freebies
The Guardian
|October 18, 2024
Bridget Phillipson has said she does not know of any cabinet minister who turned down free Taylor Swift tickets amid a row about freebies and the pop star's security arrangements.
The education secretary said she would not accept more free tickets after the controversy, which has dogged Labour's first few months in government.
Asked whether she knew of any colleagues who had declined free tickets to see Swift, the education secretary told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: "I don't. I know many of us were very lucky to receive those tickets, it's a real privilege and I completely recognise how fortunate I've been in doing so."
