Automation will affect one in five jobs across the UK, says study

Workers in shadow chancellor John McDonnell's constituency face highest risk of being replaced by robots, says research

Workers in the constituency of shadow chancellor John McDonnell are at the highest risk of seeing their jobs automated in the looming workplace revolution that will affect at least one in five employees in all parliamentary seats, according to new research.

The thinktank Future Advocacy - which specialises in looking at the big 21st century policy changes - said at least one-fifth of jobs in all 650 constituencies were at high risk of being automated, rising to almost 40% in McDonnell's west London seat of Hayes and Harlington.
