M&S CEO Stuart Machin criticized government proposals for supermarkets to cap food prices, calling them 'completely preposterous.' He urged the government to reduce taxes and red tape instead of pressuring price cuts to combat inflation linked to the Iran war. Machin emphasized that the government should not interfere in business operations and should better understand the market dynamics.
