Boo to you.



Undercover reporter Emma Lowther took an admin assistant’s job at the company’s Manchester HQ

After 10 weeks of working at Boohoo, Lowther was called into a meeting and told she had made mistakes which had cost the company money. The reporter was sacked.

A Boohoo group spokesman said: “Boohoo has not shied away from dealing with the problems of the past and we have invested significant time, effort and resource into driving positive change across every aspect of our business and supply chain.

BooHoo breaks it's ethical pledge which promised to pay it's suppliers a fair price.



Seems it's been a waste of money hiring a barrister it looks like it has done so to convince shareholders it is doing the right thing.



Bricks and mortar NEXT and MARKS now beating the online fashion on profits and share price performance.

Marks & Spencer is set to unveil growing profits as it gives a glimpse into whether its customers are weathering the cost-of-living storm, or feeling the pinch.

When the retailer updates shareholders on Wednesday, it is anticipated to post greater earnings for the six months ending in September.

Numis Research analysts predict that pre-tax profits will reach approximately £ 270 million, up from £206 million at this time last year.

According to analysts, M&S is a “highly seasonal business,” generating higher revenue in the second half of the year—which coincides with the vital Christmas sales season.

The company stated in August that after growing market share in its food, home, and apparel sectors over the summer, its half-year earnings are probably going to be greater than it had previously predicted.

Less than a week will pass before rival Sainsbury’s announces that profits for the current year will exceed guideline levels and that grocery sales increased by 9 per cent in the second quarter.

Experts noted that compared to many of its competitors, M&S’s clientele is often wealthier and may be less affected by the cost of living crisis.

Perhaps M&S should go for a less cryptic ad campaign next Christmas, something along these lines? Definitely not woke.

Daddy Warbucks,

MARKS advert comes over as entirely selfish and GB news Mark Dolan highly critical over their advert which actualy does away with Christmas including Christmas Cards and cake setting them on fire.
