I’ve noticed a few times recently that thus forum is not allowing links to Screwfix to work at the moment. Why is this?

This is a link to a twin socket

Clicking on the link rather than taking you to the appropriate page on Screwfix, brings up this page:

I assume it's because diynot gets a cut of any sales on amazon, but doubtless a moderator can confirm.

Unfortunately we were directed by Screwfix to suspend links due to the pandemic, because of the changes they've had to make to the way they operate and demand levels, safety of staff etc. As soon as we get word from them links will go back to normal.
