A new partnership of farmers, processors, trade bodies and retailers has been launched in a bid to drive standards and sustainability in the beef supply chain.The likes of Sains-bury's, M&S, Morrisons, Tesco and McDonald's are among 26 organisations to have signed up to the UK Cattle Sustainability Platform, which will develop workstreams and measure its progress against four target areas: the environment, animal medicines, animal health and welfare, and farm management.The platform was needed to "unite the activities of the UK cattle sector on its sustainability journey", it said, and would "promote and recognise all aspects of the beef value chain for its delivery of measurable positive impacts and continuous improvements to key sustainability priorities".The move follows the launch by industry of the British Meat, Origin Matters website in September, designed to instigate cross-industry collaboration and promote the benefits of domestically sourced meat....

FRASERS group says its looking at some of ARCADIA brands and discussions are still ongoing with Debenhams.

The longer it takes to do a deal over Debenhams the less likely much of the company will be saved as the stores will be depleted of stock.



FRASERS still managed to push interim profits up despite the lockdown.

So Boris went over to Ursula's tonight but he couldn't do it tonight . He said she stank of fish and he refused to lay down on a level playing field . It's like getting pandas to mate. Sp is gonna go lower down the skirt tomorrow. We got to hold on and wait till Sunday. They might do it long distance . Anyways if he manages to get the EU's leg up with internal market bill intact and the fishy bit too, we might see a share price go higher up the skirt. But how high ? To gaiters or all the crevice? That's to be seen. Anyways hope he uses protection cos we wanna be shut of it now don't we lads and lasses . ( tho I've not heard of any self respecting lass on advfn... but then again no self respecting man either so we're even)

8:07pmCheddar could become Brexit favourite as no-deal could increase price of brieBrexit will see a boost for Cheddar over Brie, the Tesco boss has said as the French cheese price could rise by 40 per cent in a no-deal.John Allan, the supermarket's chairman, told the BBC that the higher taxes could "change the mix of what people eat" and push shoppers to buy more domestically-produced cheese.He said a no-deal Brexit could mean that food bills rise by an average of three to five per cent, with some products increasing further.The grocer has also begun stockpiling some non-fresh food in preparation for disruption and potential shortages....

Peer says accuse the Green's (Philip Green and his wife) that Arcadia being “legally robbed by the Greens”!

Calls are also being made to strip Philp Green of his knighthood.



The Greens show the worst state of capitalism as they pocketed over a billion pound in dividends when the money should really have been invested in the business.

Private equity also accused of asset stripping.

John Redwood@johnredwood·9hThere is so much more we can grow and make for ourselves. We need freedom from single market rules to do so. The rules have plunged us into colossal deficit on trade in food and goods with the EU.The EU wants to keep it that way by locking us in.

CreditCrunchies,

Try the "Gastro Pub Chicken Kiev" Waitrose doesn't come close ;)

My wife is a die hard Waitrose shopper uses Ocado all of the time, says she much prefers Waitrose but is adjusting to all of these M&S products now. A lot of Ocado customers said they were going to Waitrose online not many did including my wife. When I saw these at 90p I said to her I'm buying some MKS she responded oh they're not as good as they used to be, so then I so are you switching from Ocado, the answer was no. Looked at Ocado's revenues, looked at Ocado's forecast revenues, looked at who is running the turnaround for M&S well they've got the best with Archie Norman. Bought in because at 90p they're a steal. I remember when I bought Asda at 28p back in the 90s - Archie Norman turned it around they went over 100p then got bought out by that huge American company Walmart. Before Asda he turned around Kingfisher group. If anybody can turn this company around it's him

SKY presenter Kay Burley in the firing line for breaking covid rules and missing from SKY breakfast this morning.



Terrible revelation for a SKY reporter who is supposed to criticise MPs behaviour yet breaks the rules herself and there can be no excuse for an intelligent woman of her standing.

Will she or wont she get the sack one ?

diku,

I have mixed feelings on the man, I don't agree with all the comments the property CEO has said, Landlords can be unsympathetic as well and ruin a small business.

If Ashley can save jobs and bring down prices in a department store then good luck to him, he would have won where Philip Day failed.

[diku] 08/12/2020 09:40

My point being his name gets a mentioned/floated around at every distressed retailer in the news...so he could be playing one against the other...driving price lower with opportunist bidding...

Mike Ashley not being portrayed as a saviour so far as his landlords are concerned



In fact one of his landlords at Evans Cycles evicted him lately for unpaid rents !
