Shopping may never be the same again, the high street giant Marks and Spencer has warned.

It said it would be cutting 7,000 jobs – that’s a tenth of its workforce – over the next three months.

In total, it’s estimated that just under 179,000 job cuts have been announced by major UK employers since the pandemic began.
