We congratulate @UKLabour and @Keir_Starmer on winning the election and forming the new government. We will strive to build close working relationships in the coming weeks and months. Our chief executive, Jodie Gray, said: "English UK will continue campaigning for a supportive business environment for #UKELT. “We are optimistic that a new government will view some of the issues facing our industry with fresh eyes and that aspects of our operating environment will be improved. We are already grateful to Sir Keir Starmer for clarifying in a letter to members in his constituency that Labour’s plans to make private school fees subject to VAT will not apply to ELT centres. “We’d like to congratulate Sir Keir and his party as well as all the other new MPs in the House. We will begin building relationships with them and encouraging our members to do so in the coming weeks.” >> bit.ly/4cqqsvV
