This is certain to continue when however, comes to own the keys to Number 10 Downing Street next week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Should it turn out to be Liz Truss the gambling industry could hope for a more lenient reform policy when it happens, in recent hustings around the country the foreign secretary represents herself as a supporter of lower taxes, pro-business, anti-woke and anti-Nanny State libertarian.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The UK gambling industry truly want to see reforms in the country, uncertainty is not good for business, but neither are strong over the top restrictions. It is certain that no White Paper on gambling will see the light of day this year, the government have bigger issues but when it comes a more considered and pragmatic approach to gambling in the UK is hoped for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time next week the UK will have a new Prime Minister, it will either be current foreign secretary Liz Truss or former chancellor Rishi Sunak.
