Whomever it was who called England a nation of shopkeepers was wrong if they meant it as an insult. Retail is the lifeblood of our economy.
Even with the rise of online retail, shops still sit at the heart of our communities. During the pandemic, the quiet, all-too-often unsung heroism of shopworkers and delivery drivers kept this country going. They deserve our respect and gratitude. They also deserve to be safe at work. That’s why this government is cracking down on the unacceptable abuse that these workers experience on a regular basis and stamping down on shop theft.
But the Prime Minister and I want to go further and faster, because anything less than a zero-tolerance approach to assaulting a retail worker, or shop theft, threatens the very foundations of law and order that protect our society. We had already made sure the courts could dish out the maximum penalty for assault in such instances, but we are today confirming that we will make it a specific criminal offence to assault a retail worker, to reflect the significance of this vile crime.
