So today is National Retail Workers Day and alongside @UsdawUnion, I'm celebrating all 3 million retail workers, including our incredible @coopuk colleagues, and the vital work they do supporting local communities every single day. Huge shout out to all shop-workers. #NRWD24

Violence against shopworkers is skyrocketing: it's time for action from Parliament. Ask your MP to support an amendment which will make assaulting a shopworker a specific standalone offence. 👇

I am really pleased to see Crimestoppers shining a light on this important issue.Calling on my network to fill in the survey. Safe streets should be a given for everyone. @CrimestoppersUK @BusinessCrimeUK #saferstreets #safespaces

Today at Justice Questions, I raised the staggering rise in violence against shopworkers just this year alone, as reported by the @coopuk. The best way to stop violence against shopworkers is to make it a standalone offence, as called for by @CoopParty, @UKLabour & @UsdawUnion.

Fantastic to see Matt Pratley and Chris Gunning winning an NBCS award today for outstanding contribution cementing Police partnerships. @CP_Whitf @paulgerrard1971 @coopukcampaigns @KateGraham03 @furnivalderek @skhouryhaq @MattHood20 @C_Gunning84 (need a photo Chris 😃)

Threats, violence and abuse should never be part of the job – but for too many shopworkers, it's becoming a daily routine. Please co-sign our letter to the Home Secretary, calling for action on retail crime to keep our colleagues and communities safe. 👇

It was good to be visiting our Crewe stores tonight with @alansmithballoo @EmmaWarrener and Luke Kerfoot talking to colleagues about retail crime and the importance of their safety. @RachelH35382323 @KateGraham03 @gazredpath @079Jenny

We've been actively campaigning for a step up in police response to retail crime, so I gladly welcome the newly announced Retail Crime Action Plan. Co-op is ready to work with every police force across the UK to keep our colleagues, our stores and the communities we serve, safe.

Incredibly misinformed comments by @CPhilpOfficial @Conservatives. Our retail colleagues aren’t trained law enforcement. It’s risky and unfair to underestimate the dangers posed by ‘looters’. Even when we do detain, the majority of the time police don’t respond.

Unbelievable comment that completely misses the point. In 80% of cases where @coopuk do make ‘citizens arrests’ the police don’t turn up so we have to let them go. The priority has to be an effective police response to build on what businesses are already investing in.

Another strong message from @coopuk working together with @itvnews @Chrisitv to continue raising awareness of the impact retail crime is having within our stores & across our communities @KateGraham03 @edhowe16 @skhouryhaq @079Jenny @paulgerrard1971 https://t.co/NDwmMMGBYd

Fabulous evening last night ⁦@TheEmeraldShow⁩.Loved the music,great singers and amazing dancers. Great choreography and hosted beautifully by ⁦@South_Mill_Arts⁩

Thankful to work for a retailer who puts colleague/ customer safety at the heart of everything we do. We need greater engagement from @PoliceChiefs to help identify those prolific offenders & make our communities a safer place @MayorOfWY @WYPCP @the_brc @KateGraham03 @edhowe16

Co-op Group sounds the alarm as store crime hits record levels, with call for police action backed by @UsdawUnion and @ACS_LocalShops #coops @coopuk https://t.co/JbiWocPFEN

The response to our in-store crime campaign this week has been incredible. And if today’s Times is to be believed it’s been instantaneous also !! Action needs to marry the words however to provide the protection so badly needed #safercolleagues #coop

Almost two thirds of shop theft is driven by repeat offenders and this is a growing problem, @JMLowman appeared on BBC London TV to talk about the impact that this has on local shops
