The managing director of Deeside-based Iceland Food has said the company will be giving store staff Boxing Day off. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

In a tweet, Richard Walker confirmed all Iceland and Food Warehouse stores will be shut on Boxing Day. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Last year a host of large retailers and supermarkets said they would close on Boxing including Sainsbury’s, Argos, Habitat, Aldi, Morrisons, Waitrose, Home Bargains, Pets at Home, Marks & Spencer as well as Iceland. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Richard Walker has called on the Conservative Party to increase Universal Credit to £20 a week. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

He also described new Prime Minister’s Liz Truss’ priorities as “odd” as he spoke at the Conservative Party Conference. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

He added that he was puzzled by tax cuts for the wealthy coupled with a lack of support for those on low incomes. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
