Our PM is a billionaire or at least married to one, our Chancellor is a multimillionaire and our country has been destroyed by 14 years Etonian lead Tories.
What a sensible article. In slimming down the monarchy the King should have appointed Harry as the international and Commonwealth representative with Wills in the UK training to be King. No one else needed. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@prbi_Iain @Vacant_Shops_Ac @1totallylocally Hope you enjoy it Iain! I'm now on with edition 2 - the update!
@BillGrimsey Why oh why do people ( directors/shareholders) get so excited at the first sniff of Private Equity investment. It always ends this way. It is a well trodden path to load the debt onto the company and asset strip to pay it off and reward themselves with humongous dividends
Morrisons closes in on £2.5bn sale of forecourts business. More assets being sold to pay down the enormous debt that CD&R has loaded into Morrisons. The irony is that they are selling this business to themselves! The limping carcass of this once great business is a disgrace.
Asda supermarket is set to see its debt interest bill exceed £400m, piling pressure on the private equity-owned supermarket. Coupled with Morrisons that’s over 25% of food at risk by PE greed. Not to mention 250 thousand people employed. Surely Government must be concerned.
Asda the supermarket is set to see its debt interest bill exceed £400m, driven by escalating interest rates that are piling pressure on the private equity-owned supermarket. Coupled with Morrisons that’s over 257% of food distribution at risk by PE and greed.
Morrisons a complete and utter financial mess. All down to Terry Leahy and CD&R. £6.6bn of debt with annual interest payments £400m was totally unnecessary a busted PE model. Ken Morrison must be turning in his grave!
Just watched the John Lewis Christmas Ad. It is complete nonsense! Nothing to do with brand or positioning it’s pure intellectual masturbation! Good job the Chair is standing down. youtu.be/5y0fGsQU5zg?si…
Predicted in 4th Grimsey Review document sent to PM & Chancellor offices 2 years ago the future failure of small independent businesses. Against All Odds is available on vanishinghighstreet.com. As with all 4 Grimsey reviews since 2013 Gov failed to act. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…
. @RishiSunak says the public don’t want a general election. Last nights defeats say otherwise! 265,000 people have signed the petition calling for an immediate #GeneralElection. It’s been waiting 14 days for a date for debate. GIVE US A DATE @HoCpetitions petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6419…
Labour GAIN Tamworth 🌹
It is clear that this Tory Government is now a busted flush. Time for them to throw in the towel and give the country what it needs which is a Spring 2024 General Election. Well done Kier Starmer and the Labour Party in these two by-elections. Historic!
Won’t help the people in the Gaza Strip or those butchered by Hamas but why can’t we give peace a chance. The natives in America had a great culture before it was destroyed but it is never more relevant than today
Priti Patel/Suella Braverman spent £140,000,000 on the Rwanda Deportation scheme, it is appalling, illegal and it hasn’t deported a single person. Who has the money?
Thames Water this is outrageous and all the Gov can say that it is a matter for the company and it’s shareholders. Rubbish it is a matter for all of us. Water is essential for life why let it be controlled by capitalist greed! Nationalise it NOW please. theguardian.com/business/2023/…

@BillGrimsey I’m usually interrupting their fun around the cutting table to ask for help…apologetically. Not what it used to be for sure.
As an alumnus of @OfficialUoM I couldn't be more pleased to see @nazirafzal installed as Chancellor 👏
@BillGrimsey So sad - we are all shocked here. A great man - wonderful humour We will remember him
It feels like you should be in a pantomime saying 'oh no you can't '
Why didn’t this ever happen when I was running Wickes! Brilliant.
If 2022 is to be the year when we finally give our high streets the support they need to break with a failed model & forge their own distinctive identities, then we can’t keep making the same mistakes. That means shining a spotlight on policies that have failed...a thread 🧵
If - & I’m not holding my breath – Govt decides to heed MPs’ calls for a review of how pandemic policies have impacted high streets, this, by @BillGrimsey, is where they should focus. Biz rates, timidity on localism, decarbonisation, chaotic funding...plenty to get stuck into...
As MPs call for an immediate review of how the government’s handling of the pandemic has impacted high streets, retail veteran Bill Grimsey, the former CEO of @Wickes and @IcelandFoods, says "we need to learn from a catalogue of mistakes". bit.ly/3JUDZ0J #BillGrimsey
I've spent last few months working in Cornwall & totally agree. Amazed they didn’t receive a penny from the Levelling Up Fund. It has chronic poverty. If Levelling Up is ever going to work, it cannot be just a political project. It must be based on need cornwalllive.com/news/news-opin…
@BillGrimsey Orwell seems to get more accurate the more time goes on!
@jimnewport @BillGrimsey Already have and spoken with him
🎙️Is the Construction Industry a microcosm for what's happening across the wider economy?.. Rising material, labour, and import costs are all having detrimental effects on the industry. Also covered in Ep. 65 - the National Insurance Tax increase. spoti.fi/2VkVX87
Meanwhile.....in Bognor Regis no map required ... just a housing block.
This is the map of the Club Med resort given on arrival. It is 2” by 3” & as useful as the ash tray on my motorbike! The App is not much better. Technology has not enhanced Customer Service the way it could. Still Disney Land App is even worse & maps scarce so Club Med better!

@BillGrimsey @AndrewMarr9 Came across as desperate to catch him out. Very disappointing.
"Hairdressers have had a torrid time during this pandemic. That's a huge industry and it's the backbone of our high streets. You can't get your hair done online" - @BillGrimsey on his high street report out this morning. #r4today @BBCBusiness
We need a more local flexible approach - one size does not fit all! Well said @BillGrimsey Tsunami of closures’ threaten UK high streets as debt grows fivefold | Small business | The Guardian theguardian.com/business/2021/…
Great Grimsey Review coverage in today's Guardian, Times, Mail & R4 among others - & really pleased to see big focus on #SmallBiz debt. We've heard terrible stories of people entering suicide pacts because of debt they've been forced to take on. This sector urgently needs help
A massive and timely support in the regeneration of our high streets.
