The Treasury′s supermarket food price cap wheeze was bananas | Nils Pratley (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Retailers such as M&S need not worry – the UK is not in a state of emergency and competition is clearly workingCall for food price caps 'preposterous', says M&S boss“Completely preposterous,” said Stuart Machin, chief executive of Marks & Spencer, about the Treasury's proposal for voluntary price caps on food staples. He was outdone in the outrage stakes by City analyst Clive Black at Shore Capital, who thought the government “appears to be losing its mind in an orgy of neo-Soviet policy ideas”.Both men can probably calm down. First, it's not the first time a panicky administration, feeling the heat from cost-of-living pressures caused by rising energy costs, has flirted with the notion of limited and voluntary price caps in supermarkets. The last time was 2023 under the Tory premiership of Rishi Sunak, who is few people's idea of a neo-Soviet apparatchik. Second, as with Sunak's dalliance, it's not going to happen. Treasury ministers on Wednesday barely bothered to defend the...

A "Rubbish, Knee-Jerk Reaction": UK Treasury Pushes Food Price Caps As Inflation Re-Accelerates (ZeroHedge)

A "Rubbish, Knee-Jerk Reaction": UK Treasury Pushes Food Price Caps As Inflation Re-Accelerates
UK supermarkets are being urged by the government to limit food prices in return for easing regulations.
As first reported by The Financial Times, the price caps are 'voluntary' and would apply to key groceries – such as eggs, bread, and milk - according to retail industry sources with knowledge of the plans.
In return, the government has said it would offer “incentives” to the supermarkets, which the people said could include easing packaging policies and potentially delaying costly changes to rules around healthy food.
As one may well expect, supermarkets are understood to be strongly opposed to the plans.
The Treasury has declined to comment.
The proposals come as Sir Keir Starmer's government is battling to address public concern over the cost of living.
Scottish retailers recently condemned a similar policy by the Scottish National Party as a “1970s-style” gimmick.

I believed sustainable fashion′s hype. But between Everlane and Allbirds, the letdowns keep coming | Clare Press (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Sustainability promised to change the industry. With Shein reportedly acquiring Everlane, and Allbirds pivotting from eco sneakers to AI, it seems that promise was mostly marketingIt was always about the money, wasn't it? For a while there, it seemed like the execs opining sustainability is not a trend, it's the future actually meant it. But when yet another global brand drops its net zero goals or stops talking about DEI, you do wonder. Recent headlines include Stella McCartney adulterating her eco gloss with a sustainable capsule collection for H&M – don't worry, she's just “infiltrating from within” – and Lululemon being investigated for Pfas. The letdowns keep coming.Now the internet is reeling from a report that Shein plans to acquire Everlane, the San Francisco-based sustainable basics brand built on “radical transparency”. Shein is the Chinese ultra-fast fashion giant epitomising murky supply chains and crazy-cheap landfill fashion. They release up to 10,000 styles a day, and ha...

South African Farming Crisis May Trigger Food Shortages Across The Continent (ZeroHedge)

South African Farming Crisis May Trigger Food Shortages Across The Continent
For decades South Africa has operated as the breadbasket for half of the African continent, and the vast majority of that food was grown by white farmers (Boers and Afrikaners). In other words, the very survival of Africans has long been dependent on the hard labor of the white people they are taught to despise.
South Africa has around 142 race-based laws which largely discriminate against white citizens, especially when property, business and government office is involved. The Expropriation Act of 2024 allows the socialist government to confiscate any land of their choosing to "redress past discriminatory laws or practices" (land owned by white citizens). This is part of a project to "fulfill land reform goals" (transfer wealth and farming operations to black citizens).
The problem is, when land is seized or forced into sale to black owners, farming production reportedly collapses. That ...
