Meanwhile Boris Johnson this weekend pledged to get Britain's workers back to their offices "soon" as the UK officially passed 19 MILLION first doses today. Speaking at a rail industry conference, the PM dismissed the idea that the lockdown would lead to a permanent shift towards Brits working from home. 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 ...

KFC staff filmed ‘sneaking raw chicken into restaurant from boot of a Volvo’ after delivery blunder closes branches
A KFC customer caught staff appearing to smuggle chicken in through the back door of the fast food restaurant as the company's delivery problem saga continues. A video shows two men in KFC uniforms lifting crates containing black bags out of the back of a Volvo. The employees then sneak them through the back door of the KFC branch in Erith, south east London. The footage has been shared as KFC restaurants across the UK have been forced to close their doors amid a nationwide delivery blunder . But Danny Mercer, who captured the video, said he thinks workers at this branch tried to implement a back up plan. Mr Mercer claims he was told to f*** off by employees when they saw he was filming. He told Kent Live : "I got KFC in Erith shut down because I caught them on videos smuggling raw chicken into the back of the restaurant out of the back of a car in black bags and boxes and unrefrigerated. "Turns out there has been a delivery problem nationwide for all KFC … [Read more...] about KFC staff filmed ‘sneaking raw chicken into restaurant from boot of a Volvo’ after delivery blunder closes branches
Don’t be a mug, make these tasty ‘cup’ cake recipes for less
QUICK and easy mug cakes are the latest lockdown trend across social media – and I can see why. Far quicker — and cheaper — than baking an actual cake in the oven, they are the perfect savvy snack when you crave a sweet treat. Use these tips to make your own “cup” cake for less cash... GO BANANAS: Grab one ripe banana and 80g of Creative Nature banana bread mix, £2.99 at Tesco, rather than £3.99 at creativenaturesuperfoods.co.uk . Mash the banana with a little butter or margarine before combining with the bread mix and a dash of water. Microwave for 30 seconds on high before leaving to stand for 30 seconds. Repeat and if it looks like it needs a little longer, blast in ten-second bursts until the inside of your mug cake develops a nice bouncy texture. SAVING: £1 PROTEIN HIT: I love the protein mug cake mix from theproteinworks.com. You can currently grab a bag for £14.38, down from £15.99. Mix a scoop with water and microwave for 60 seconds. … [Read more...] about Don’t be a mug, make these tasty ‘cup’ cake recipes for less
The coronavirus jab’s most tantalising side effects? It may help fight cancer, chronic pain… and even Alzheimer’s
Joan Wakefield has barely been able to walk for the best part of six months. The 72-year-old from Stockport had a knee replacement in October and has since suffered infections in the scar tissue, causing agonising pain. Then at the beginning of this month she received the first dose of AstraZeneca 's Covid-19 vaccine. 'I woke up the next morning and the leg pain and stiffness was gone,' she says. 'I couldn't believe it. I joked with my partner about whether the vaccine had anything to do with it. Previously, I couldn't even bend my leg. Now I can extend it fully, and even put my shoes and socks on. I'm optimistic I'll be able to return to work sooner, rather than later, now.' It seems ludicrous – a vaccine designed to protect against one virus can, somehow, improve other totally unrelated elements of health. But Joan Wakefield is far from alone. A man receives his Covid-19 vaccinations at Lichfield Cathedral, Staffordshire earlier this week RELATED … [Read more...] about The coronavirus jab’s most tantalising side effects?
