AMAZON is set to open its first physical stores in the UK - and they won't have any checkouts. The online retailer will open the doors to its Amazon Go shops 'this week', after success in the US. The first shop will be located in Ealing in West London, the Mail on Sunday reports. There are no checkouts at Amazon Go stores, instead technology tracks the items you put in your basket. You're charged automatically when you leave via the Amazon Go app. The concept first launched in the US in 2018 and it was first reported last year that the shopping giant was eyeing as many as 30 locations in the UK for bricks and mortar stores . According to the newspaper report, staff are preparing to open the shop this week and there are coverings hiding the Amazon branded store front. The shops use "Just Walk Out" technology which means customers can avoid queueing. Shoppers must scan the supermarket's app on the gated turnstile when entering the stores.

Covid vaccine news UK – 32 MILLION tests being sent to kids on Monday as figures show single jab ’90 per cent effective’

And former Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith said: “We need to get people back to work as soon as possible. “There are lots of reasons why work is important to our lives. It affects people’s physical and mental wellbeing and there are issues around productivity. Follow our live blog below for the very latest on the UK 's path out of lockdown ...

“Bonkers decision to make gender neutral Mr Potato Head is rampant wokery”
As any fan of Toy Story knows, MISTER Potato Head is very attached to his title. It’s what sets him apart from all the Johnny-come-latelys in Andy’s toy box and reflects his seniority. Because kids have been viciously stabbing Mr PH him with little plastic hats and pipes since 1952. And, when Mrs PH came along they got to smack her in the chops with a pair with red lips and pierce her skull with a blonde wig. But, as far as I recall, Mr and Mrs PH were both devoid of stick on genitalia. So, until you dressed them up they were actually gender neutral tubers. And kids ALWAYS chose to break gender stereotypes by giving Mrs PH a moustache and putting Mr PH in her red stilettos. But now, thanks to rampant wokery, makers Hasbro have decided these much loved characters need a mash up . Their old identities are being peeled away because male and female vegetable toys “do not reflect modern families”. Poor old Mr and Mrs PH must be rolling their eyes in horror. Because the … [Read more...] about “Bonkers decision to make gender neutral Mr Potato Head is rampant wokery”

Rishi Sunak: A tale of two chancellors promises a decisive follow-up as budget looms
There are two ways of telling the Rishi Sunak story of the past 12 months. The widespread narrative is of a chancellor who was brought in to do the prime minister's bidding but ended up out-performing his boss. In this tale, Mr Sunak's competent response to the coronavirus pandemic, alongside eye-catching policies like "eat out to help out", made him the darling of the Conservative party and popular across the country too.

There is an alternative version of how the last year played out though. This second tale is of a chancellor too eager to open up the economy given restlessly high levels of infections.
