UPDATE 1-Brexit-sensitive stocks, sterling hit by deepening political turmoil
Shares in Britain's housebuilders and retailers tumbled and sterling slid on Wednesday after multiple media reported rumors Prime Minister Theresa May's ministers could oust her in a row over her latest deal to exit the European Union. The reports, underscoring deepening uncertainty over Britain's leadership, gave Brexit-sensitive stocks and sterling their first major jolt since March when the then Brexit deadline was looming.

Marks & Spencer Challenges Supermarkets With Big Food Stores
Marks & Spencer Group Plc plans to open more large food stores, shifting away from a strategy of expanding smaller convenience outlets as it prepares for an alliance with online grocer Ocado Group Plc. The prospect of another costly store revamp as profit falls weighed on the U.K. retailer’s shares, which declined as much as 5.4% on Wednesday. Marks & Spencer said a 601 million-pound ($763 million) shareholder rights issue to finance the Ocado deal was fully underwritten.

FOCUS-Selling with the enemy: Why rival retailers embrace Amazon.com
MADRID/NEW YORK, April 9 (Reuters) - Chico's FAS Inc warned in January that it would shutter at least 250 stores across its namesake brand, along with its White House Black Market and Soma labels. While that growth should entice any retailer, Chico's is one of a growing number of clothing brands treading carefully. From Nike Inc and Under Armour Inc to Lands' End Inc and Levi Strauss & Co, major brands are distributing clothing and accessories directly through Amazon.com, attracted by more than 100 million members of Amazon's loyalty club Prime and its advanced delivery network.

Brexit crisis tipped for British asparagus as EU seasonal workers stay away
ROSS-ON-WYE, England, March 18 (Reuters) - For almost 100 years, Chris Chinn's family has farmed asparagus in the rolling hills of the Wye Valley in western England. This year, he fears uncertainty around Britain's departure from the European Union will keep his eastern European workers away and the asparagus will stay in the ground. Asparagus grown in Britain is feted by chefs as among the world's best but the seasonal worker shortage threatens the country's asparagus industry and the viability of Chinn's Cobrey Farms business.

Reuters•3 months agoM&S food to go online in $2 billion Ocado joint venture
Britain's Marks and Spencer and Ocado launched an online food joint venture on Wednesday, belatedly giving M&S a home-delivery service while netting $1 billion for its fast-growing technology providing partner. M&S, Britain's best-known stores group, has lagged rivals in tapping into Britain's fastest growing grocery area, which industry researcher IGD expects to expand by 52 percent over the next five years to 17.3 billion pounds. Under the deal, Ocado's retail arm will become a joint venture with M&S, which will pay 750 million pounds ($1 billion) for its half share.

[$$] M&S Slides on JV Funding Call
PLC (MKS.LN) fell nearly 10% in early trading Wednesday after the U.K. retailer announced that it would be cutting its dividend payout and calling on shareholders to raise funds. M&S made the disclosure as it formally announced a “transformational” deal with online grocer Ocado Group PLC (OCDO.LN). Under a new joint venture with Ocado, which was widely reported in the press earlier this year and confirmed by the companies Tuesday, M&S will buy a 50% share of Ocado’s U.K. retail business for up to 750 million pounds ($989.3 million).
Reuters•3 months agoM&S in tie-up talks with Ocado to take its food online
British high street chain Marks & Spencer (M&S) is in talks with Ocado to form a joint venture that would give M&S a full online food delivery service for the first time, sending shares in both companies surging on Tuesday. Britain's best known store group and the online supermarket pioneer released short statements confirming discussions after London's Evening Standard newspaper said M&S was set to pay 800 to 900 million pounds ($1.05-$1.19 billion) for a 50 percent stake in a combined online retail business. One source with knowledge of the situation indicated the cost to M&S would be lower.
Bloomberg•4 months agoOcado's Loss Could Be the Making of M&S Online
Ocado Group Plc, which said its pretax loss on Tuesday surged, wants to extricate itself from at least part of the U.K. grocery business. It’s not hard to see why the company’s CEO, Tim Steiner, would want to move away from the daily grind of online grocery to concentrate on the whizzy technology arm. It is not clear what form a transaction would take, but one option would be for M&S to provide some of the food sold by Ocado once the latter’s contract with Waitrose expires in September 2020.

Britain's food supply could be seriously disrupted if it leaves the EU without a deal, a lobby group representing Sainsbury's, Asda, McDonald's, KFC and other firms said on Monday.

UPDATE 1-European shares on the back foot ahead of eventful week
European shares opened in negative territory on Monday as optimism about the end of the U.S. government shutdown faded and investors braced for an eventful week with key votes on Brexit, Sino-U.S. trade talks and a Federal Reserve policy decision. "Investors may want to stay cautious ahead of what is going to be a busy week with Central bank speeches, the Brexit vote in the UK Parliament and several important data releases in the U.S." wrote ActivTrade analyst Pierre Veyret. Another strong loser was Alstom, which fell 2.1 percent after the French group and Germany's Siemens offered new concessions to try to satisfy antitrust concerns of the European Commission for their plans to create a joint European rail champion.
