Coronavirus rule changes: have people stopped listening to the government? a why does Amazon pay so little tax?
After the Evening Standard revealed the government's bringing in restrictions to limit social gatherings to six, it's now reported pubs may have a 10pm curfew. Meanwhile, the foreign travel quarantine rules, which vary across the United Kingdom, are still confusing passengers and putting people off holidays.

Also, last year Amazon’s revenues in the UK went up from £10.9bn to £13.7bn. It's tax bill on all those billions is £293m pounds. MPs like Labour’s Margaret Hodge say that’s unacceptable.
