Sarah Leadbetter, from Narborough in Leicestershire, is classed as clinically extremely vulnerable. However government correspondence advising her to shield was not sent in a format she could access - which she argued was discrimination. After her legal challenge, the government has agreed to review its communication with disabled people. While shops on the High Street are closing, Amazon has opened a new one - with a difference. Billed as 'contactless' and utilising the firm's app, shoppers fill their bags and leave without using any tills, receiving a receipt later. We test it out for accessibility. And are people who are blind or visually impaired being left short-changed by less favourable betting odds when they choose to have a flutter over the telephone?
