Welby rapped on Cofe zero hours job ads

Archbishop at TUC TWO cathedrals are advertisin­g zero-hours contract jobs just days after the Archbishop of Canterbury called them a “reincarnat­ion of an ancient evil”.

And after Justin Welby blasted Amazon at the TUC conference for paying “almost nothing in tax” it was revealed the Cofe invests in the retailer.

The ads by Gloucester and Norwich cathedrals led the Rev Ray Anglesea to say Mr Welby should have “put his own house in order” before speaking out.

And Tory MP George Freeman said: “We should practise what we preach.”

The Cofe said it was reviewing its zero-hours practices, and believed it could tackle company tax issues by “seeking change as a shareholde­r”.

“We have already booked a holiday in Mexico and it will give us the chance to think everything through.”

Darren said he bought the scratchcar­d on a whim. Describing the moment he won, he said: “I couldn’t actually believe it. I literally had £1million in my hand. I just screamed but I also felt numb.

“I don’t think either of us believed it until we called Camelot and they confirmed we really were millionair­es.”

The pair are no strangers to the limelight, after entering Metro Radio’s Punching Above Your Weight contest in 2014. It paid for their honeymoon in Rhodes after they married that year.

Darren said over the years he had got used to comments about his appearance in comparison to Kate’s. He said: “Even when we are out shopping at Asda I get these funny looks from blokes and I know what they are thinking.”

Full-time mum Kate added: “People say love is blind and I guess I must be a prime example to that, but he will always be my Prince Charming.”
