nina warhurst has been outside topshop in liverpool for us. morning some staff arrived here at topshop and liverpool and gathered for a team huddle. i asked one of them were they aware of the plans for the company. he said yes, but didn't want to comment further, quite understandably. you can't underestimate the importance of the arcadia group for our high street. there will be very few of you watching who don't have an item of clothing from topshop, dorothy perkins, burton, and even fewer of you watching who are older than the group. dorothy perkins is more than a century old. these businesses are on the brink of collapse. the administrators are probably being called in at lunchtime today, meaning they will look at what is salvageable for the business. let remind ourselves of the size of the arcadia group. so, within it, topshop, dorothy perkins and miss selfridge among others. there was a major restructure last year which meant they closed down international outlets, about 13,000 jobs remain in the uk. despite the problems of the company, si

our business correspondent nina warhurst has been speaking to staff at a printing firm in merseyside.s. what happens to the wider economy matters here. yesterday, we learned about the shape that it's in. so far this year almost 400 billion pounds have been borrowed to cover covid, and that translates to about £7,000 for every person. the contracting economy means that by next year it's predicted that more than 2.5 million people will be unemployed, and this is really striking — a prediction that by 2025 the economy will still be 3% smaller than was expected in the march budget. a small glimmer of hope, though — the chancellor found the funding for four billion pounds to help level up the economy. and that message means investing in an economy that creates more opportunity outside of london and the south—east. something that, too many, sounds painfully familiar. we've heard it all before in business and, you know, previous administrations, and we are hoping that it does work and it does hopefully do what it's supposed to do and level up, but, you know, time will tell, and hopefully a l
