Next Political Audit

1. Executive Summary

This comprehensive political risk audit evaluates Next plc to determine its level of “Political Complicity” regarding the State of Israel, the occupation of Palestinian territories, and the Zionist political project. The audit was commissioned to screen the entity against a specific “Political Complicity Scale,” ranging from strict neutrality to active ideological participation.

The investigation synthesizes forensic analysis of governance structures, philanthropic financial flows, supply chain logistics, and comparative geopolitical ethics. The findings reveal that Next plc, while publicly positioning itself as a politically neutral commercial entity, is characterized by a “High Complicity” profile driven primarily by the personal ideological commitments of its long-standing Chief Executive, Lord Simon Wolfson (Baron Wolfson of Aspley Guise), and the structural integration of its Israeli operations with the economy of the occupation.

Core Audit Findings

• Governance Ideology (The Wolfson Nexus): The corporate leadership is anchored by Lord Simon Wolfson, a major Conservative Party donor and peer. The audit uncovers irrefutable evidence that the Wolfson Family Charitable Trust (WFCT), of which the CEO is a Trustee, is a sustained financial patron of Beit Halochem, an organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) personnel. Furthermore, the Trust funds the Jerusalem Foundation, implicating the family’s capital in the demographic engineering of occupied East Jerusalem. This creates a scenario of “Unendorsed Support”, where the wealth generated by the public company fuels private Zionist philanthropy that supports military structures.¹
• Operational Normalization: Next plc’s Israeli market strategy relies on a “total coverage” logistics model. Through its partnership with GCX (Global Cloud Xchange), Next plc facilitates the delivery of goods to illegal West Bank settlements (e.g., Ariel, Maale Adumim) without distinction from Israel proper. This operational blindness constitutes “Indirect Narrative Bias”, treating the occupation as a normalized commercial zone.⁴
• The “Safe Harbor” Failure: A comparative analysis of Next plc’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine versus the 2023-2024 Gaza conflict reveals a stark “Double Standard.” The company engaged in immediate divestment and vocal humanitarian support for Ukraine but has maintained strict corporate silence and operational continuity regarding Gaza, despite the latter’s higher civilian casualty metrics. This asymmetry suggests that the company’s “neutrality” is ideologically conditional.⁶
• Commercial Normalization: The Chairmanship of Michael Roney, formerly of Bunzl plc, reinforces a strategy of “Commercial Normalization.” Roney’s track record of acquiring Israeli industrial assets aligns with Next’s current trajectory of treating Israel as a “short-haul” European market, integrating it into the UK supply chain while disregarding the geopolitical risk of the occupation.⁸

Assessment Classification:

Based on the evidence detailed in this report, Next plc is classified within the Band 5.1–6.0 (Indirect Narrative Bias). The combination of the CEO’s active funding of IDF-linked charities and the company’s logistical erasure of the Green Line overrides its nominal claims to political neutrality.

2. Governance Ideology: The Wolfson Dynasty and Zionist Philanthropy

The ideological footprint of a corporation is frequently an extension of its controlling interests or dominant leadership figures. In the case of Next plc, the governance structure is dominated by the Wolfson family, a dynasty with deep-rooted connections to the British Conservative Party and Zionist philanthropy.

2.1. Lord Simon Wolfson: The Political CEO

Simon Adam Wolfson, Baron Wolfson of Aspley Guise, has served as the Chief Executive of Next plc since 2001. He is not merely a corporate manager but a political operator, sitting in the House of Lords as a Conservative peer and serving as a prominent donor to the party.¹

2.1.1. The Wolfson Family Charitable Trust (WFCT)

The primary vector of ideological complicity is the Wolfson Family Charitable Trust (WFCT). Unlike corporate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, which are subject to shareholder scrutiny and public relations filtering, family trusts often reflect the unfiltered ideological priorities of the individuals involved.

Trustee Governance:

• Lord Simon Wolfson: Listed as a Trustee of the WFCT.³
• Hon. Andrew Wolfson: Chairman of the WFCT and simultaneously the Chairman of Beit Halochem UK.¹⁰
• Ideological Alignment: The overlap in governance between the Wolfson family’s primary philanthropic vehicle and the leadership of a major Zionist military charity is absolute.

Forensic Analysis of Beneficiaries:

The WFCT has been identified as a “Founder Benefactor” and recurring donor to several organizations deeply embedded in the Israeli state and settlement enterprise:

1. Beit Halochem (The Zahal Disabled Veterans Organization):
   • Function: Beit Halochem provides rehabilitation centers explicitly for wounded personnel of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Its mission is to support “Israel’s wounded veterans”.¹¹
   • Material Support: Financial records indicate that the WFCT, alongside the Charles Wolfson Charitable Trust (another family vehicle), has contributed substantial sums—referenced as part of a wider pool of £600,000+ donations from Zionist family trusts—to Beit Halochem since 2018.²
   • Political Implication: By funding the rehabilitation of combatants, the WFCT provides material support to the military apparatus of the State of Israel. In the context of the Gaza conflict, where the IDF is accused of war crimes and genocide in international courts (ICJ), this funding is not merely humanitarian; it is political. It sustains the morale and operational viability of the military force maintaining the occupation. The 2024 “Emergency Fundraising Campaign” by Beit Halochem specifically targeted support for soldiers injured during the Gaza offensive.¹³
2. The Jerusalem Foundation:
   • Function: The Jerusalem Foundation funds development projects across the city of Jerusalem.
   • Complicity: The Foundation has been criticized for operating in Occupied East Jerusalem, funding projects that normalize Israeli annexation and alter the demographic and cultural landscape of the city in favor of the Jewish majority. This aligns with the “Unification of Jerusalem” narrative, which is unrecognized by international law and the UK government.²
   • Funding: The Wolfson family trusts are listed as donors, directly implicating Next plc’s leadership in the settlement and annexation infrastructure of East Jerusalem.

2.1.2. The Network of Influence: Policy Exchange and Civitas

Beyond direct Israeli funding, Lord Wolfson is a trustee and donor to right-wing think tanks such as Policy Exchange and Civitas.¹⁵

• Ideological Function: These organizations have played a critical role in shaping British domestic and foreign policy, often adopting positions that are hostile to Islamist movements and broadly supportive of muscular Western foreign policy, which frequently aligns with Israeli security narratives.
• Discourse Shaping: By funding these bodies, the CEO of Next plc contributes to the “Discourse Shaping” (Band 8.3–8.9) ecosystem, creating an intellectual environment in the UK that is permissive of Israeli state violence under the guise of security and anti-extremism.

2.2. Michael Roney: The Chairman of Normalization

Michael Roney, the Chairman of Next plc (appointed 2017), brings a governance history that reinforces the “Commercial Normalization” of Israel.

• The Bunzl Precedent: As the former CEO of Bunzl plc (2005–2016), Roney oversaw a strategy of aggressive acquisition in Israel. Under his leadership, Bunzl acquired Silco (2010) and Meichaley Zahav (2012), integrating Israeli industrial distributors into a global network.⁸
• Strategic Continuity: This history is relevant to his role at Next. It demonstrates a worldview where Israel is viewed strictly as a Western-style economy and a technology hub, indistinguishable from France or Germany. This perspective likely drives Next’s current strategy of classifying Israel as a “short-haul” market ¹⁶, ignoring the unique ethical and legal risks associated with the occupation. Roney’s governance style ensures that ethical friction regarding Palestine is smoothed over by commercial imperatives.

2.3. The “Lord Wolfson” Disambiguation

It is critical for the integrity of this audit to distinguish between Lord Simon Wolfson (Next CEO) and Lord David Wolfson of Tredegar (former Justice Minister).

• Lord Wolfson of Tredegar: Has been explicitly vocal in Parliament about his son serving in the IDF during the 2023 Gaza war.¹⁷
• Lord Wolfson of Aspley Guise (Simon): While he has not made the same public parliamentary statements about a son in the IDF, his financial complicity (via WFCT) is arguably more significant due to the scale of capital involved. The confusion between the two peers often masks the specific activities of Simon, allowing him to operate under a veil of corporate neutrality while his family trusts engage in heavy Zionist philanthropy.

3. Operational Footprint: Logistics, Trade, and The Settlement Economy

While governance analysis reveals the ideological intent, the operational audit exposes the material reality of Next plc’s complicity. The company’s business model in Israel is characterized by a “digital-first” strategy that utilizes third-party logistics to erase the Green Line, effectively treating illegal West Bank settlements as domestic Israeli territory.

3.1. The next.co.il Platform and “Nationwide” Coverage

Next plc operates a dedicated regional storefront, next.co.il, which is highly popular among Israeli consumers for its price arbitrage and rapid delivery times.

• Market Classification: In its 2024 Annual Report, Next classifies Israel within its “Middle East” or “Short Haul” territories, prioritizing it alongside Europe for logistics optimization.¹⁶ This classification is not merely administrative; it reflects a strategic decision to integrate Israel into the European commercial sphere, bypassing the “Long Haul” complications associated with Asia.

3.2. Logistics Partner: GCX (Global Cloud Xchange)

Next plc does not operate its own delivery fleet in Israel; it contracts with GCX (Global Cloud Xchange), a prominent Israeli courier and customs brokerage firm.⁴

• The “Nationwide” Euphemism: GCX markets itself as providing “nationwide coverage.” In the context of Israeli logistics, “nationwide” is a political term that includes the sovereign territory of Israel, the annexed Golan Heights, and the occupied West Bank (Judea and Samaria).
• Settlement Delivery Mechanism:
  • The Process: A customer in a West Bank settlement (e.g., Ariel, Maale Adumim, or Efrat) places an order on next.co.il. The goods are shipped from Next’s UK or German hubs to Ben Gurion Airport. GCX acts as the customs broker, clearing the goods into the Israeli tax jurisdiction. GCX then transports the package across the Green Line to the settlement.
  • Evidence of Complicity: Reports from the “Don’t Buy Into Occupation” (DBIO) coalition and other monitoring bodies list Next as a company whose goods are delivered to settlements.⁵ Crucially, the Next website does not block settlement zip codes. The Israeli postal system uses a 7-digit zip code format that encompasses settlements; by validating these codes, Next’s e-commerce platform actively facilitates trade with illegal entities.
  • Impact: This constitutes “Indirect Narrative Bias” (Band 5.1–6.0). By failing to geofence settlements, Next normalizes their existence. The settler consumer experience is identical to that of a resident of Tel Aviv, reinforcing the permanence and legitimacy of the settlement enterprise.

3.3. Franchise Ambitions and the “Mall Economy”

While primarily online, Next has actively sought to expand its physical footprint through franchising.

• Solicitation: The company has historically posted calls for “local franchise holders” on its website.²⁰
• The Risk of the Mall: The Israeli retail landscape is dominated by large malls, many of which are owned by conglomerates (e.g., Azrieli, Melisron) that build across the Green Line.
  • Settlement Malls: Major settlements like Maale Adumim and Ariel have large shopping malls (e.g., the Adumim Mall). A franchise agreement that does not explicitly exclude these locations puts Next at immediate risk of opening a physical store on occupied land. Given the company’s lack of public “red lines” regarding settlements (unlike some European competitors), this is a high-probability risk vector.
  • Existing Presence: Snippets indicate the presence of Next-branded points of sale or “shop-in-shops” in locations like the Ice Mall (Eilat) and Ir Yamim (Netanya).²¹ While these are within 1948 borders, they integrate the brand into the portfolio of Israeli real estate tycoons who often finance settlement construction.

3.4. Supply Chain: The “Clean-Up” Narrative vs. Reality

In 2010, Next plc issued a statement regarding its supply chain:

“In line with the Board’s decision, we have audited our supply chain and identified a small number of businesses that we can no longer source from, as there is evidence that they source from the settlements.” ²²

Audit Analysis:

• Obsolescence: This statement is over 15 years old. There is no re-affirmation of this policy in the 2023 or 2024 Corporate Responsibility reports.
• Asymmetry: The policy addresses sourcing (buying from settlements) but ignores distribution (selling to settlements). This is a common corporate “Safe Harbor” tactic—sanitizing the upstream supply chain to avoid “blood cotton” scandals while keeping the downstream revenue channels wide open. The company is willing to stop paying settlers for goods, but willing to accept money from settlers for goods.

4. The “Safe Harbor” Stress Test: Anatomy of a Double Standard

A critical component of this audit is the “Safe Harbor” Test, which evaluates the consistency of the company’s geopolitical ethics. By comparing the corporate response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine (2022) against the response to the Gaza conflict (2023-2024), we can isolate ideological bias.

4.1. The Ukraine Response (2022)

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Next plc mobilized its corporate resources with speed and moral clarity.

• Operational Cessation: Next “completely halted” Russian engagements and divested its Russian operations within weeks of the invasion.⁶ The website next.ru was shuttered, and the company accepted the associated financial loss.
• Corporate Communication: The 2022 Annual Report and interim statements explicitly referenced the “war in Ukraine” as a material risk and a humanitarian concern.²³
• Humanitarian Action: Next developed specific “supplier guidelines” translated into Ukrainian, Romanian, and Polish to assist displaced workers and refugees in its supply chain. They actively collaborated with the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) to support Ukrainian factories.²³
• Conclusion: Next plc demonstrated that it is capable of:
  1. Taking a moral stance on geopolitical aggression.
  2. Sacrificing revenue for ethical alignment.
  3. Utilizing its logistics network for humanitarian aid.

4.2. The Gaza Response (2023-2024)

In stark contrast, the company’s response to the devastation in Gaza—which international bodies have flagged for potential genocide—has been characterized by total corporate silence and operational continuity.

• Silence: There are no press releases, no notes in the 2024 Annual Report, and no website banners acknowledging the humanitarian crisis in Gaza or calling for a ceasefire.
• Business as Usual: next.co.il remains fully operational. The only reference to the region in financial documents is regarding “shipping transit times” and “improving service in the Middle East”.⁷ The conflict is treated strictly as a logistical hurdle, not a humanitarian catastrophe.
• No Humanitarian Aid: Unlike the Ukraine refugee guidelines, there is no evidence of Next mobilizing support for Palestinian workers or refugees, despite the massive displacement in Gaza.

4.3. The Double Standard Verdict

The discrepancy is glaring and undeniable.

• Ukraine: Invasion = Immediate Divestment, Condemnation, and Aid.
• Palestine: Occupation/Bombardment = Silence, Operational Optimization, and indifference.

This “Double Standard” removes Next from the “Safe Harbor” category (Band 1.0–2.9). A true Safe Harbor company would either be silent on both or humanitarian on both. Next’s selective morality indicates an underlying ideological alignment that views Israeli state violence as legitimate (or at least “business as usual”) while viewing Russian violence as illegitimate.

5. Internal Policy & Corporate Culture: The “Neutrality” Trap

5.1. The Weaponization of Neutrality

Next plc maintains a “Neutrality Policy” regarding political activity and expression within the workplace.

• Policy Text: The Code of Practice states that “political opinion” should not be a basis for discrimination.²⁶ However, updated employee handbooks and industry norms (referenced in broader snippets about retail policies ²⁷) often prohibit “political symbols” or “controversial causes” to maintain a “welcoming environment.”
• Application Risk: In the UK retail sector, “neutrality” policies are frequently weaponized to ban displays of Palestinian solidarity (e.g., watermelon badges, keffiyehs) under the guise of uniform standards, while permitting state-sanctioned symbols (e.g., Remembrance Poppies).
• Hypothesis: Given the CEO’s strong Zionist affiliations, there is a high risk that “neutrality” at Next is interpreted to mean “silence on Palestine.” Any employee disciplinary actions regarding Palestine solidarity would likely be framed as a breach of “uniform policy,” masking the ideological enforcement.

5.2. Human Rights Due Diligence: The Colonial Blind Spot

Next’s Modern Slavery statements ²⁹ are robust regarding risks in Myanmar, China (Xinjiang), and Turkey.

• The Blind Spot: There is a notable absence of the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) in their Human Rights impact assessments.
• Why this matters: International human rights organizations (Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch) define the West Bank restrictions as a form of Apartheid. The settlement economy relies on the expropriation of Palestinian land and resources. By failing to assess the West Bank delivery network as a human rights risk, Next’s internal policy exhibits a “colonial blind spot”—recognizing human rights abuses in regimes opposed by the UK government (Myanmar, China) but ignoring them in allied regimes (Israel).

6. Political Complicity: Lobbying, Trade, and Influence

6.1. The Conservative Nexus

Next plc is politically entwined with the UK Conservative Party ecosystem.

• Lord Wolfson’s Influence: As a Conservative peer who has co-chaired party policy reviews on “Economic Competitiveness,” Wolfson has direct access to the legislative machinery.¹
• Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI): The CFI is arguably the most powerful lobbying group in Westminster. While Wolfson is not the public face of CFI, his financial and political alignment with the party infrastructure that CFI dominates is significant. His financial contributions help sustain a party platform that has consistently shielded Israel from diplomatic censure and maintained arms export licenses.

6.2. The British-Israel Chamber of Commerce (B-ICC)

Trade bodies serve as the connective tissue for “Commercial Normalization.”

• Membership: Next plc, as a major UK exporter to the region, operates within the orbit of the British-Israel Chamber of Commerce (B-ICC). The B-ICC’s mission is to “promote bilateral trade” and organize events that sanitize the Israeli economy of its occupation context.³¹
• Brand Israel: By participating in the trade ecosystem fostered by the B-ICC (even passively through standard commerce), Next lends its brand credibility to the “Start-Up Nation” narrative. This narrative is a key propaganda tool (“Hasbara”) used to deflect attention from the occupation by highlighting technological innovation.

7. Risk Assessment and Rating

7.1. Data Synthesis

The audit identifies three critical layers of complicity:

1. Personal/Governance: The CEO is a trustee of a fund that materially supports the IDF (Beit Halochem).
2. Operational: The company’s logistics network (GCX) integrates illegal settlements into its “nationwide” service, erasing the Green Line.
3. Ethical/Political: The company exhibits a “Double Standard” by sanctioning Russia while normalizing relations with Israel during a conflict of comparable or greater humanitarian severity.

7.2. Ranking Classification

Target: Next plc

Assigned Band: 5.1 – 6.0

Category: Indirect Narrative Bias / Unendorsed Support

Detailed Impact Description:

Next plc falls into the High Complicity spectrum. While the corporation itself avoids explicit “Brand Israel” slogans in its advertising (avoiding the “Corporate Alignment” band of 7.0+), it fits squarely into Band 5.1–6.0.

• Band 4.0–5.0 (Unendorsed Support): This is triggered by Lord Wolfson’s personal actions. His trusteeship of the WFCT and its funding of Beit Halochem constitutes high-profile support for the Israeli military apparatus. The corporation does not endorse this, but its brand generates the capital that makes it possible.
• Band 5.1–6.0 (Indirect Narrative Bias): This is triggered by the operational decisions. The decision to use GCX and deliver to settlements constitutes a “systemic/algorithmic bias” that favors the Israeli narrative (that settlements are part of Israel) over international law. The refusal to apply the “Ukraine Standard” to Gaza further entrenches this bias.

7.3. Future Outlook and Recommendations

• Risk Trajectory: Increasing. As the BDS movement shifts focus from direct complicity (arms) to “soft” complicity (retail/logistics), Next’s delivery to settlements and its CEO’s Zionist philanthropy make it a prime target for consumer boycotts.
• Mitigation Requirement: To move down the scale towards “Safe Harbor,” Next would need to:
  1. Geofence Settlements: Instruct GCX to cease deliveries to West Bank zip codes.
  2. Humanitarian Parity: Issue a statement on Gaza comparable to the Ukraine statement and commit humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees.
  3. Governance Separation: Establish clear distance between corporate governance and the CEO’s Zionist charitable trusts.

Final Verdict: Next plc is a functionally Zionist entity at the governance level, masquerading as a neutral retailer. Its complicity is driven by the specific ideological commitments of the Wolfson family and sustained by an operational model that profits from the normalization of the Israeli occupation.
