General Election 2024 overview
On a dramatic election night, Labour secured a landslide victory, winning 412 seats and a majority of 174. This vindicated the detailed work we have been doing with the Labour Party over the last eighteen months.
We've written an overview of the MPs who lost their seats, were re-elected or newly elected, specifically focusing on supporters of the hospitality sector.
Serving Britain
Hospitality creates places where people want to live, work and invest. Hospitality is a powerhouse that contributes £140 billion in economic activity and £54 billion in tax receipts to the economy every year. That impact matters more now than ever.
General Election Toolkit
We are keen for as many political candidates to visit hospitality venues across the country as part of the General Election campaign and hear about the vital contribution our sector plays in their constituency. We have therefore put together this election toolkit to help you, get your voices heard.
Manifestos explained
As political parties begin to release their manifestos, we will be analysing them to let you know what their policies mean for your business.
Candidate visits
Ahead of the General Election, we have facilitated visits up and down the country for hospitality businesses to talk to local candidates and let them know how vital hospitality is to their constituency.
