One industry source suggested the Government had been thrown into a "tizzy" by the prospect of a public letter rebuking the Chancellor.A retailer claimed they were contacted by an official at the Treasury who attempted to explain Labour's approach to the industry and understand their concerns after it became aware a letter was being drafted.The letter, which was organised by the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and signed by 80 companies, warned the industry faces £7bn in increased costs as a result of changes to employers' National Insurance, a higher minimum wage rise and levies on packaging.It added that job losses were now "inevitable", as a result of the "sheer scale" of the new costs on business....Daily Telegraph

debsdowner - profit taking plus, I suspect, the impact of NI rises in the budget weighing on sentiment for the retail trade.

The Telegraph data on Marks overtaking Waitrose is excellent news for Marks and to add to that KANTAR is to include MARKS in their grocery market share data each time they do their figures and update the market.

I am surprised at the recent fall in share price but you will always get some profit takers after a meteoric rise in share price.

The food and fashion giant has worked with a number of famous faces in recent years, including Hannah Waddingham, Sienna Miller and Bella Freud.

The retailer also recently enlisted Britain’s Got Talent star Skylar Blu to appear in its 2024 Christmas advert for its clothing and home campaign which launched last week.

The festive advert showcases the best of its partywear, decorations, gifting and homeware for the Christmas season, following on from its food advert, which saw Dawn French return as the Festive Fairy.

Marks & Spencer has overtaken Waitrose as grocer to Middle England for the first time, in a watershed moment just weeks before the crucial Christmas rush.

Unpublished market data seen by The Telegraph shows M&S has outsold its rival over the past four weeks, as well as outstripping every other supermarket in sales growth.

The data, collected by Kantar, showed M&S held a 4.03pc share of the grocery market for the four weeks to Nov 3, compared with 3.76pc a year earlier.

Meanwhile, Waitrose’s share declined to 3.91pc during the same period, down from 4.02pc a year ago.



The retailer also posted the biggest sales rise of any of the supermarkets during the period. Sales surged by 11pc versus a year earlier, compared with 6.9pc growth at Lidl, 6.3pc at Sainsbury’s and 5.8pc at Tesco. Waitrose, meanwhile, grew sales by 1pc in the period, only outpacing Asda and the Co-op.
