Personal news - in 2 weeks I start at @marksandspencer, heading up external affairs. Exciting chance to join a company that's been part of Britain's social fabric for 140 years, with big plans for growth. Proof I'm a long-term fan 👇

DM me if we should get a coffee (or a Colin)

Marks & Spencer expects profit to bounce back to the growth seen before the British chain was knocked off course by a cyberattack https://t.co/ePn6avPnCQ

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

Marks and Spencer has written to the Mayor of London and the home secretary citing concerns at a rise of shoplifting and abuse against workers.

Adam Hawksbee, external affairs director for M&S, says staff are 'worried about coming into work' because of antisocial behaviour.

'Our colleagues deserve to go into work each day without fear of intimidation, abuse or harassment.'

M&S Head of External Affairs Adam Hawksbee explains why the retail giant is calling out the Labour government over crime.

"The Chancellor must change course: spend less, borrow less, tax less, regulate less, reduce inflation and enable growth."

Thanks to our M&S Cribbs Causeway team, inc Store Manager Joe, for welcoming me to hear about their plans and impact locally.

It was great to meet Billy, part of M&S’ ‘Marks & Start’ youth employability partnership with @KingsTrust, who said it was a super way to start in retail

[M&S News @MandSnews]

We're proud to partner with @DWP and local Jobcentres on our Marks & Start programme - helping people overcome barriers to work and build careers in retail. With classroom training and in-store experience, 30,000+ have taken that first step. Last year, 88% secured roles at M&S.

Thanks @Alison_McGovern for recognising the impact! #MarksAndStart

It was a pleasure to welcome @SamanthaDixonMP to M&S Chester yesterday.

Our brilliant Deputy Store Manager Sian took her behind the scenes to see how our dedicated colleagues bring the magic of M&S to life every day -  including Maggie, who will be celebrating her 50th Christmas with M&S this year!

[M&S News @MandSnews]

It was brilliant to show @CalvinBailey around our brand-new Leytonstone foodhall yesterday and introduce him to our Store Manager Chelsea and colleagues Kash and Nancy.

By working closely with @DWPgovuk and @wfcouncil, 14 of over 50 new roles created by the opening have been filled by Marks & Start participants - and the team are doing an amazing job!

RT @MandSnews: It was a pleasure to welcome @PaulWaughMP to our Rochdale Riverside store today, where he met Joyce Smith - an incredible M&…

[Stuart Machin @MachinStuart1]

Next week sees the final phase of the Windsor Framework come into effect, adding yet another layer of unnecessary costs and red tape for food retailers like M&S.

- 1000+ M&S products destined for Northern Ireland will need to have a 'Not For EU' label stuck on them.

- Another 400 will need to go through additional checks in the 'Red Lane'.

Quite frankly it's bureaucratic madness, confusing for customers, and completely unnecessary given the UK has some of the highest food standards in the world.

The Government's SPS deal with the EU will be game-changing, and it can't come soon enough!

I was delighted to host @marksandspencer in the Scottish Parliament last night — celebrating £30m of investment, 6,500 jobs supported, and a deep commitment to Scottish produce, suppliers, and communities.

From farm to food hall, M&S is helping Scotland thrive.

We’re delighted that Max Wilkinson MP joined us at our Cheltenham store today.

Store Manager Richard was on hand to give Max a behind the scenes look at the operations at the store, including the teamwork and commitment colleagues show everyday to bring our customers the M&S they know and love.

Max also personally congratulated store colleague Jayne on 36 years at the store - an incredible milestone!

New: The majority of Britain’s biggest listed companies will together account for less than 3% of the revenue raised by Labour‘s increased payroll tax, Bloomberg analysis shows.

Revealing chart here shows how retail and hospitality will bear the brunt of the extra taxes:
