Friendly reminder that the lies to suppliers, forced price deductions & impossible lead times shown in the #BBCPanorama are NOT unique to Boohoo or 2023. Almost every big clothing company has been doing this for years & it's the workers who suffer awful working conditions

Thanks to Cllr David Ward 🌹💙 for posting
