- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper attended one of Taylor Swift’s Wembley concerts with her husband after being involved in talks about the singer’s police escort.
Ms Cooper attended the gig with her husband Ed Balls, a former Labour minister, who was offered free tickets by the chief executive of Universal Music, the PA news agency understands.
She had been involved in talks about security for Swift’s London concerts with London mayor Sadiq Khan, but the ultimate decision to give the singer a high-level escort was made by senior police.
The Shake It Off star was given a motorbike convoy to protect her on the way to Wembley despite initial police reservations, The Sun reported.
Talk’s Mike Graham discusses the story with Mail on Sunday columnist Dan Hodges.

Why hasn’t someone put this down in a document and ask the government to explain as well as publish it in the press?
Arrest Starmer and charge him with accepting bribes.
Just arrest him and charge him with being a pratt.
Every single day a new Labour scandal. IS THIS an actual government?
It's a horror story.
It's a joy to watch! comedy gold!
No connection my arse THEY ARE GREEDY SCROUNGERS THEY HAVE TO GO!
ALL part of the cronyism, back -scratching and taxpayer - stealing blags through decisions made by ALL these politicians! N.B. Newly -appointed Chief of Staff McSweeney, as leader of the Labour 'Think tank' ... in 2021 his dept reported 'themselves' (on the eve of an internal investigation) for not being able to find where 700k of funds went??!! Not only could you not make this mental BS up - this is about DECADES of politicians thinking the public are stupid!!
Why would any “star” be entitled to such an enormous police escort? If she’d wanted an escort fine, she pays for it. Now she’s received it once she won’t be back unless she’s given the same consideration. Total madness and I object to my tax pounds being spent on her!!!
She is a billionaire for Gods sake!!
Every other musician has to pay unless they also happened to be Heads of State or other IPPs ie Internationally Protected Person.
Harry the ginger whinger is whining about having to pay in the US....
So do I They have the money pay for your own protection God god they will all want it now 😤😤😤😤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The good old MET,protecting the public from Taylor Swift
I wonder how many tickets were given to them! Is this a type of new currency? Taylor Swift Tickets?
😂
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Hardly an emergency call that would justify waiving a fixed penalty notice for speeding.
The police have said (quite rightly) that they actually declined the request for a police escort, the rumour is that the Home Secretary and the London mayor then overruled them. Now we know why
These are government assets we pay for and not for the personal gain of Labour politicians.
Just who are this lot working for it’s certainly no the British people.
WEF
They're incompetent plain and simple.
Surely Taylor Swift could have entered and left via the "back door" like hundreds of VIP's do every year and not needing a large expensive convoy. Labour unfit to govern as are the Tories. You could teach monkeys...........
Evet cooper should resign and ed ball's should be sacked
Labour have been selling
Their backsides to the
Richest donors. 😂
Naughty but probably right..who knows
Or even Alli?
It’s like everyone I know says labour are the same as the tories but with red ties
Puff Diddy bribed them with baby oil and lube.
P00f DIDDler brıbed them with bäby oıl and lübe
Thank you Talk TV
One rule for the establishment, they can do what ever they like without consequences.
Sounds like labour MPs enmasse went to theses concerts free of charge, before this police protection event, somewhat beholden then, hey Keir. Tickets given to husband Ed Ball, quite convenient. All in all doesnt pass the sniff test. Whikst labour mps all having a great time on freebies, i think they have forgotten just how expensive basic living costs have risen totally eroding working peoples disposable income, ie so little left at the end of the month to enjoy life and treatvtge family. Labours hypocracy makes me sick.
Agree 🤢🤢
Does the TV not have rules about accepting freebies 🤔
Should Ed have taken them ?
It's another dodge
Wait till the dept of energy gets the attention of the press. Miliband the malevolent and net zero is driven by vested interests…?
Think we all need a personal body guard ,no one anywhere is safe in labour’s uk
There needs to be an investigation into the Starmer "donations". How far do they go back and what influence has been bought ?
They should not be called the labour party they should be called the freebie party
The blatant lies of the Labour Party MPs is disgusting, on the Preston television programme last night Lisa Nandy said not one old age pensioner will be worse of this winter, a staggering lie by this awful women MP.
Another day another freebie 😳 5 years of this. Does anyone in the Labour Party pay for anything? Maybe if they did they would realise the cost of living and be in touch with the rest of us.
It’s not what you know it’s who you know with this government.
Nice :-) free tickets after the Met police said No to an escort but home secretary told the Met to do an escort .Not dodgy or sleazy at all
Who gets fired next? how about all of them starting with Starmer, Raynor, Reeves, Cooper, Phillips, Abbott and Lammy. Any more to add to the list? Asked to include Lisa Nandy, Dodds and Ed mini-brain.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
and the lot of them sitting in seats they do not deserve m
George Galloway and his wee enclave oh and Lisa Nandy
Not enough room on here for the list
The scumbags
They treat the people they are meant to serve with contempt!
I always assumed that to be an MP you needed to be an adult, but apparently all that is needed is to have the musical tastes of a ten year old. We are ruled by infantiles.
Notice the speed camera flashing regularly as the police 'escort' went past... Wonder if any fines will be issued...
Zil lane ?
How ridiculous this whole thing is, who is Taylor Swift? Some trashy pop star come off it.😮
Why are adults needing tickets for this teenage thing?
Absolutely
I don't rate her singing much anyway! Someone would have to pay ME to go & watch her!😂😂
Because they want the young vote? Because they want the VIP treatment? And let’s be honest they wouldn’t get that if they weren’t in the Government?
State approved entertainment
The same thought crossed my mind ,
Remember...
The police are independent and don't act on political instructions.
2 Tier Policing And A Corrupt Goverment.
Oh that’s a neat trick - I didn’t take any freebies because they were given to my husband, note they were tickets to Taylor Swift not football!
EVERY DAY ANOTHER LIEBOUR SCANDAL
100 DAYS OF CHAOS
GET THEM OUT !
Why would serious politicians want to attend a teenage pop concert. Can’t they see how it looks.
How many winter fuel payments did this cost?
I think Starmer had better increase his security the way he is screwing the lives of pensioners like myself.
20!
He is careful not to face the public. Southport was a quick in and out. He knows he is a target so its Downing St. , No. 10's garden, some factory or building site, or TV studio. His next public appearance will be at the Cenotaph when the proud, loyal Vets turn their backs on him when the 2 faced fraud lays a wreath.
Labour Need To Go, But Starma And Cronies Still getting Away With Everything 😮
Since when has a police escort been exonarated from speeding; hardly an emergency call. Even our late Queen would have objected to that.
Why are they allowed to continue to be in power something is truly rotten about the whole thing. It is also very odd that King Charles has nothing to say about it. What is the end game??
The WEF
They have five years free rein to continue the work of flooding the country with competing groups, crashing education, housing, welfare, jobs and societal cohesion, then instituting a system of total control via UBI/digital id’s.
Charles is part of the Davos club, along with Starmer, Macron,Trudeau, Zelensky etc.. They're all in it together. The Great Reset.
stazistarmi didn't 'get rid of Sue Gray'.
He sidled her into 'Region & blah blah' position so she was able to launch into becoming a Lord.
What a disgusting bunch these lot are
What a blatant waste of OUR taxpayers money on some privileged billionaire pop star. Shocking get her sacked
They can see it. They don't care.
It has got to the point none of them can be trusted!
Isn't it strange that the free Taylor Swift tickets result in a blue light escort? The Home Secretary might not have authority but she has the influence.
None of them could run a bath.
Whats with the red hair to,grow up.
I don’t mind the gifts… it’s not paying TAX on it that drives me mad
Isn't it time for the Whole Labour party to GO. NOW. IMMEDIATELY.
Snouts permanently in the TROUGH 🤮🤮🤮.
Dale Vince should be put in prison for the rest of his life.
Is Nepotism a prerequisite for an appointment in this Labour government.
It's called nepotism when you give jobs to relations and it is against the rules
The speed cameras went off..did they get a ticket! No only concert tickets. A bunch of griffters
these scandals are unacceptable the government are not fit to rule, this is taking attention away from really serious issues that need to be addressed
What a greedy rotten bunch
No credit to Starmer as everyone was leaving so she had to go.
He just shoved her sideways for the optics
Sad ,an old bird like pixie Cooper among all those youngsters.
Labour's reasoning for using the SEG to escort Swift was a threat of terrorism to her concert. The same concert that Starmer and most of the cabinet were happy to attend. Right......
If a threat the concerts should have been cancelled. 🤦♀️
😂😂😂😂😂 spot on
Good point.
Yvette looks knackered. Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.
I hope it's nothing to do with Ed 🤣🤣🤮
Thanks Mike for some really good reporting lately, our best reporter actually at the moment, in my opinion, totally in touch with the people.
I'm sure there will be swift justice. Not.
The calibre of Labour MP’s is below rock bottom. What is this bright red hair all about. What is Lisa Nandy wearing ! God help us all.
How about giving free tickets to deprived children who would dearly, presumably, too see that Taylor Swift but simply cannot afford to? Gutting that people that can well afford to are given free tickets.
Tony Benn would be turning in his grave at this Labour Govt.
Making themselves millionaires out of using the working class and lap
Bribery at its finest
No credit to Mo Starmer, he may have move SG but is he going to elevate her?????? This will only benefit Liebour, watch this space. How corrupt they ALL are, what or who has happened to this country.
Got rid of her 😂l🤣she is now a politician in the House of Lords !!!!
Get THE KING TO DISSOLVE THIS GOVERNMENT NOW
Lord Ali gave them the plan for start of government!!!!!!
The tiny little mayor KHAN gets one every day and he doesn’t deserve a police escort
What is more surprising Yvette arranging a blue light entrance for free tickets or wanting Talylor Swift tickets in the first place. She would look like a granny in that audience.
Taylor bit ticket, the new currency...😎😎😎
We could all do with that kind of security because the streets are no longer safe
One Question. How much is going on that We Don't Know About IN the government?
Mis-use of public funds?
One positive for moi is that I had no way of finding anything about Stonewall....lo and behold I'm on a learning curve. 👋👋👋👋
Gray is now going into the house of Lords
Which kind of shows it was a diversion tactic to attempt to make us forget about all the freebies
👏👏
She knows where the bodies are buried ,labour are keeping onside.
Who would have thought eh! It must be very crowded in there.
That was mentioned by the media, it has happened yet.
It's matter of time, before Dan hodge get the job of head of communication for labour government
The body language as she walked up to the rostrum to speak says it all.
She is not that important she can afford her own security why should we have to fund her and why so many labour mps went to see her in the first place for me something don't add up
She endorsed Biden lol
@francesbrown5116 that wouldn't shock me lol
@@gftjghdt3582 protected asset . they want the young voters .lol
Why let the MPs pick the leader. Why not just put all the candidates to the members to vote for right at the start.
He hasn’t got rid of her he gave her another job and a seat in the Lords. I would say that was a win!
TBH she isnt that good a singer IMO and her concerts should have been cacelled as soon as she & her Mother demanded any security at all! That would have saved taxpayers money for everyone! 😊
Oh! She's a singer - that's what she does!!!
Labour are vile
2TK should have the ability to remember, the rules & laws pertaining to his position in public & political life, but selective recall is his defence...
Labour have the self-awareness of a lump of cheese..Stammer has the political nous of a 5 year old, and the press have Yvette Copper by the 'Balls'.
All these young hopefuls being sent out to defend labour !
What a joke 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Talk about lambs to the slaughter or pass the poisoned chslice
my question is did the police bike at 1.18 get a speeding ticket 🤣
All getting backhanders, if Balls were to have to do a negative report on the music industry, he would not. Corrupt to the core.
Am I the only person who didnt get a free Taylor Swift ticket?
They're all on the take, every last one of them is bought and paid for.
My god that face 🤛👊🤛👊
😂😂😂
"UK government"? What's that, a comedy show? ... 🤔
Nice deal for Taylor Swift.
Few tickets for massive security.
I do like her though and Im glad she was safe.
Should have asked Edd, he would have said No !!
Labour the party that takes.😂
Well Ms Cooper has no idea how to resolve the problem if illegal immigration but she can spend time to browbeat the security services about Taylor Swift. Priorities?
I'm not mad at the police for the escorts, Taylor Swift has had threats made against her recently that the people in charge call "mental health & isolated incident" threats.
At the same time, F labour and their freebies.
If I get free tickets for the school play and donate them to starmer will I get a council house
The bit where they are talking about nuclear and re assessing it because of a donation from green energy is way more important than all the tickets and clothes.
Highlighting this sort of thing is like water off a ducks back to these people. They're untouchable.
COOPER IS SILLIER THAN ED BALLS
