Our work is dangerous and the pay only gets worse, while the CEO has just sold £15m in shares – we deserve betterShaf Hussain is a Deliveroo rider and chair of the couriers branch of the IWGB unionIt’s taken Deliveroo more than a decade to do it, but this month, the company made an annual profit for the first time. This might come as a surprise. If you live in London, you probably see one of the 15,000 or so couriers like me zooming past you several times a day.

(A dark chocolate version is also available.) This is not a craft-chocolate egg by any stretch, but maybe that’s not what people need all the time.Melt has two cute eggs, one is just milk and in very simple packaging with a cardboard bunny cut out. The idea is that you paint it and it comes in two sizes, from £14.50.
