The U.K. music industry has been speaking out on BorisJohnson's election victory

Prime Minister Boris Johnson waves on the doorstep of number 10 after making a statement in Downing Street following the Conservative Party's return to power in the General Election with an increased majority.

Artist supporters of Boris Johnson were less visible, although it's a safe assumption that many of the U.K.'s millionaire musicians will be breathing a sigh of relief that Labour didn't win power, given the party's pledge to increase taxes on the wealthy. Following the decisive election victory, the pound climbed more than 3 cents against the US dollar to $1.35, its highest level since May 2018, as well as surging against the Euro.

"That deal needs to ensure that artists, creators and everyone involved with the UK music industry can move around the EU to do their jobs," said Dugher. "It must also make sure that we have a legal framework to make the UK the world's best place to make content. Copyright should be protected and enhanced in any new trade deals."
