You're right on those thin margins: Industry sources said the pressure on pricing would be "intense" given the thin margins on which the big supermarkets already operate. https://news.sky.com/story/retail-giants-face-food-price-hikes-dilemma-after-budget-13248254 "The grocery industry is expected to be among the hardest-hit by the changes to employer NICs, particularly after the chancellor slashed the threshold at which businesses become liable for it to just £5,000." Its not only the large stores either: Andrew Goodacre, CEO of the British Independent Retailers Association “This is without doubt the worst Budget for independent retailers I have seen in my time representing the sector. The government’s actions today show complete disregard for the thousands of hard-working shop owners who form the backbone of our high streets. https://www.theretailbulletin.com/general-merchandise/budget-comment-retail-trust-30-10-2024/ “Retail employs three million people and 2.7 million more across supply chains, driving investment in jobs, communities and, ultimately, economic growth, right across the country. For a low margin industry, today’s Budget will hit hard, with the odds now stacked firmly against growth and investment in the short term. These new costs also risk increasing the prices customers pay at the till.

mmmm Zelensky says he was somewhat reassured but lets see. Trump is unpredictable Scoop: Elon Musk joined Trump's call with Zelensky Donald Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday included two surprises: Elon Musk was also on the line, and Zelensky was somewhat reassured by what he heard from the president-elect, two sources with knowledge of the call tell Axios. Why it matters: The new details of the call underscore how influential Musk could be in the second Trump administration, and the uncertainty over how exactly Trump will approach Ukraine. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/08/musk-trump-zelensky-ukraine-call https://archive.ph/A9MCn

NATO Allies strongly condemn the decisions by the leaders of the Russian Federation and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to dangerously expand Russia’s unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine. In addition to the DPRK’s already substantive support to Russia’s war effort, through the provision of millions of rounds of ammunitions and ballistic missiles, the thousands of combat troops deployed by the DPRK constitutes a dangerous expansion of its ongoing support for Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine. The deepening military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK deeply impacts Euro-Atlantic security, with implications also for the Indo-Pacific. Increasing military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK is a breach of multiple UN Security Council resolutions, including 2270 (2016), 1718 (2006), and 1874 (2009). This is particularly egregious given Russia’s status as a Permanent Member of the UN Security Council. We call on Russia to return to compliance with these resolutions and to uphold its international obligations. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/official_texts_230355.htm

At US behest, Qatar has ordered Hamas to leave Doha — Biden officials Qatar told Hamas that it must close its diplomatic office in Doha roughly ten days ago following a request by the US, senior Biden administration officials tell The Times of Israel. A US official tells The Times of Israel that Hamas’s late August execution of American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin along with five other hostages and its subsequent rejection of more recent ceasefire proposals are what led the administration to change its approach regarding the terror group’s continued presence in Doha, deeming it “no longer viable or acceptable.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/us-reveals-that-qatar-demanded-hamas-leave-doha-at-its-behest/

From Reza Pahlavi previous Crown Prince of Iran Last night the world witnessed a pogrom on the streets of Amsterdam— fundamentalist terror the Islamic Republic and the Muslim Brotherhood have fueled for decades. Such antisemitic violence will continue to spread across the West until its root cause is recognized and addressed.

The name is not needed from him, its already on the Reuters vid in black and white........you lot & no she does not confirm that on this video and even if she did, did she actually speak to them and confirm that this fighting mob were Israeli? Because it shows a savage gang attacking Jews as described in the OP by Officials on the BBC website and Reuters

Yes very capable actually and I also dont make false claims. Here is what you said: "The video owner has clarified that these are Maccabi fans." Still waiting for the link to that claim and a link to her crediblity to identifying the nationalities of a savage mob attacking one or two people. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2y33ee1klo

There you go again. You made a claim and cant prove it, your lying

That's not how its done, you made a claim, prove it.

Rubbish, its in the OP from Reuters:

B/S It is the same video as in the OP and orignally credited to Reuters

Dutch leader denounces ‘Jew hunt in the streets of Amsterdam’ I see you do not.

Another one who is ignoring the targeted attacks on Jews that is on numerous videos and quoted by numerous officials. Muslim mobs in Amsterdam are hunting Jews tonight. I wish this was fiction. It's not.

These are not football thugs, they are animals attacking Jews: This sickening antisemitic violence must put UK on high alert for the safety of Jewish people here. Response to the August riots showed importance of restoring deterrence - surely a similar approach needed on calls to “Globalise the Intifada” and the violence of Palestine Action

What football thugs?

I dont need to read it again, perhaps you need to read my post again, the violence had nothing to do with the football, its was a pure attack on Jews. The mob were even forcing the Jews to say "Free Palatine" when they had kicked them to the ground.

It was a focused attacks on Jews, nothing to do with football. Read the OP and the quotes from the officials

This is about Germany not the US.

Disgusting: Amsterdam mayor condemns 'hit and run' attacks on Israeli football supporters The news conference has just finished - here's a recap of the main lines: Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema said the city is looking back at a "black night and a dark day" where Jewish life and culture was threatened Halsema said men on scooters searched for Maccabi supporters in the streets and carried out "hit and run" attacks She said it brought to mind pogroms against Jewish people in Dutch and European history, adding that what happened last night was "reprehensible" https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cwyge1587e5t

You are referring to who destroyed the pipeline that was not flowing anyway, there are topics on that and you know it.

I'm sure there's a topic for that somewhere. Certain this is not it..............

You obviously didn't read the 56 sanctions but its really no surprise that "you" reckon they are non important.........keep the propoganda up

"The plan is one of several being considered by Mr Trump, who said before being elected as US president that he would start peace talks before he enters office in January." “Anyone—no matter how senior in Trump’s circle—who claims to have a different view or more detailed window into his plans on Ukraine simply doesn’t know what he or she is talking about or doesn’t understand that he makes his own calls on national-security issues, many times in the moment, particularly on an issue as central as this,” a former Trump National Security Council aide said. https://www.wsj.com/world/trump-presidency-ukraine-russia-war-plans-008655c0 https://archive.ph/CbFZS
