Discount supermarket giant Aldi has stopped selling newspapers and magazines at all of its UK stores.

Aldi, which was ranked as the UK’s fifth biggest supermarket earlier this year, put up notices in its stores on Monday to tell customers it would no longer be stocking its newsstands with immediate effect.

The notice said: “From 30 September we will no longer be stocking newspapers and magazines. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
