Nabbed a stereo copy of this today at the thrift store.

I just bought my husband a #BirthdayPresent from #Amazon instead of #JohnLewis because it was over 30% more expensive for the same thing in JL.
They ditched "never knowingly undersold" and they are just not competitive anymore, especially for things you can buy elsewhere like #Lego (yes, I bought my husband Lego).
I want the high-street to stick around, but like millions of others can't justify spending that much extra to keep it there.

Perhaps the most appropriate monument to #EmmettTill and #JohnLewis would be the restoration of the Voting Rights Acted by Democrats, gutted by Republican right-wing Supreme Court in 2013. Protected and equal voting are the heart and soul of our democracy.
The Freedom to #Vote Act includes provisions to implement automatic and #sameday #voterRegistration ensure #earlyvoting, and establish #ElectionDay as a national holiday. It would also require states to conduct #postelectionaudits for federal elections, provide guidelines for #redistricting to avert #gerrymandering, and require additional #disclosures for certain campaign-related #fundraising and spending.

As Ned Foley writes as the USPS is now offering its newly printed John Lewis stamps,
"It's about time."

โOurs is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part." โ #johnlewis #juneteenth
Go out there and make some โgood trouble!โ

Been uptown #edinburgh #johnlewis for some retail therapy. Stopped off for coffee and cake. Good morning!
RT @Porter_Anderson
Media: @SenatorDurbin, chair of @JudiciaryDems, to @Acosta: When #JohnLewis led a sit-in on the floor of the House on #CaptolHill, "I joined him, as did @TammyDuckworth. He was not expelled, nor should he have been. To expel two members from the #Tennessee House is an outrage."

Behind the crisis at #JohnLewis lies a much more general issue:
Do top managers need experience in the sector in which their firm operates?
In the UK (& elsewhere) we have become beholden to the idea (promoted by #BusinessSchools among others) that #management is a generic & transferable skill divorced from practical experience in that which is being managed.
In UK, this is partly related to the norms of the #civilservice & Cabinet or Ministerial generalists.
An idea whose time is up?

John Lewis: Mary Portas warns retailer it has 'let go' of its soul

M&S lost a lot of custom several years back when they updated their sales model in an attempt to woo younger generations.
The older people deserted them as they loved M&S the way it was; the younger ones still wouldn't be seen dead in M&S in spite of the changes!
Time, money and effort all wasted.
An update on #JohnLewis: Sharon White - JL's chair tells the FT:
'Seventy-five years on & the [John Lewis] experiment continues. As chair, Iโm chief trustee of the partnership, responsible for ensuring the partnership model not only survives, but thrives for another 75 years' & confirms any 'radical' proposal will be discussed with the partners.
The constitutional change needed rot introduce a minority investment now looks to be where the action will be... the devil will be in the detail!
