JD Wetherspoon bringing back Brunch Burger for limited time
The Brunch Burger returned to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK for a limited time back in 2023 after a 10-year hiatus.
It has made several brief appearances since then and is returning to menus again in 2025.
But you'll have to be quick, as it will only be available for three days.

Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger features a 100% British beef patty (6oz), American-style cheese, maple-cured bacon, fried free-range egg and topped with a hash brown made from 100% British potato.
The meal includes chips, six beer-battered onion rings and a drink and will cost up to £9.99 (with a soft drink) and £11.52 (with an alcoholic drink).
Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger has received high praise over the years, being described as "the best ever".
One person, posting on X (formerly Twitter), said: "Brunch burger is the best."
Another added: "Brunch burger: best burger ever!!!"

While a third person commented: "Wetherspoon's Brunch Burger - It. Is. ACEB***S! They should have called it 'Excelsior!'"
The Brunch Burger will return to Wetherspoon pubs across the UK and the Republic of Ireland for one weekend only.
The burger will be available on Father's Day weekend - Friday, June 13 to Sunday, June 15.
The return of the Brunch Burger is not the only change made to Wetherspoon menus recently.
In May, the pub chain introduced four new gourmet burgers to its menu:

There have also been various other additions to the pizza, small plates and pub classic ranges at Wetherspoon pubs across the UK.
But it's not all been good news for customers, with several menu items axed by Wetherspoons last month.

Rangers appoint new boss Russell Martin on three-year contract
The 39-year-old former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton boss has signed a three-year contract. He will be joined at Ibrox by assistant head coach Matt Gill and performance coach Rhys Owen. ✍️ Our new Head Coach, Russell Martin. — Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) June 5, 2025 Martin guided Southampton to promotion to the Premier League last year but was sacked in December following one win from their first 16 games. Rangers finished last season under the caretaker management of former captain Barry Ferguson, having dismissed Philippe Clement in February. Ex-Scotland defender Martin, who had a short loan spell as a player at Rangers in 2018, is tasked with wrestling power back from the other side of Glasgow after Celtic's stranglehold on Scottish football continued with a 13th William Hill Premiership title in 14 seasons. 'From my time here, I had a taste of how special this club is, the expectation, the passion and the history,' he told the club's website. 'Now, as I return, I'm determined to bring success back, for the supporters, the players, and everyone inside this club. 'There's a lot to be done, but the goal is clear: win matches, win trophies and give Rangers fans a team that they can be proud of.' ✍️ We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Russell Martin as Head Coach of our men's first team on a three-year deal. Full Details ⬇️ — Rangers Football Club (@RangersFC) June 5, 2025 Martin's arrival is the latest in a series of major changes at the club. An American consortium led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises secured a majority shareholding on Friday, while new sporting director Kevin Thelwell officially began work on Monday. Rangers chief executive Patrick Stewart, who led the recruitment process alongside Thelwell, said: 'Our criteria for our next coach were clear: we wanted a coach who will excel in terms of how we want to play, improve our culture, develop our squad, and ultimately win matches. Russell was the standout candidate.'

New pension changes to help people keep retirement savings worth £1,000 or less in one pot
The DWP said the new pensions Bill is about securing better value for savers. Reforms 'tidying up' pensions by building 'megafunds' and sweeping away 'micro' retirement pots have been outlined in a new parliamentary Bill. The UK Government said the Pension Schemes Bill will create 'bigger and better pension funds' and combine smaller pension pots. Many people build up several small pensions during their working life which can be hard to keep track of as they switch jobs. The Bill will bring together micro pension pots worth £1,000 or less into one pension scheme. For people approaching retirement, the Bill will require schemes to offer clear default options for turning savings into a retirement income. There will also be new rules creating multi-employer defined contribution (DC) scheme megafunds of at least £25 billion, using economies of scale to invest in a wider range of assets. The UK Government said defined benefit (DB) pension schemes will also have increased flexibility to 'safely' release a surplus worth collectively £160 billion, to support employers' investment plans and benefit scheme members. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said: 'The Bill is about securing better value for savers' pensions and driving long-term investment in British businesses to boost economic growth in our country.' Chancellor Rachel Reeves described the legislation as 'a game changer'. Pensions minister Torsten Bell said: 'Pension saving is a long game, but getting this right is urgent so that millions can look forward to a higher income in retirement.' Sir Steve Webb, a former Liberal Democrat pensions minister who is now a partner at LCP (Lane Clark & Peacock), said: 'Whilst there are many worthy measures in the Bill, the biggest omission is action to get more money flowing into pensions.' He continued: 'This issue is unfortunately on the back burner. Measures such as consolidating tiny pension pots are helpful tidying up measures, but do nothing to tackle the fundamental problem that millions of us simply do not have enough money set aside for our retirement. 'With every passing year that this issue goes unaddressed, time is running out for people already well through their working life to have the chance for a decent retirement.' Helen Morrissey, head of retirement analysis, Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'The face of the UK pension landscape is changing, as this Bill ushers in transformative change. It seeks to deal with many of the issues that have dogged the industry over the years around cost, value, communication and performance. As MPs and Peers consider these changes, they must put the pension savers' interest at the forefront of their thinking. 'The coming years will usher in the pension mega fund era. This will shift the UK away from a plethora of small, fragmented schemes towards a streamlined set of pension mega funds able to boost retirement outcomes as well as the UK economy through increased efficiency, lower costs, and increased investment in UK assets. These are changes that the government estimates could put an extra £6,000 in people's pensions. 'These changes will be backed up by the Value for Money framework that seeks to shift the narrative away from cost as being the main determinant of value towards other issues such as investment performance and service. This will enable members to determine whether they are really getting value from their scheme.' She continued: 'The work around small pots has the potential to be a real gamechanger for people's retirements, with pensions worth less than £1,000 being brought together in a default consolidator model. This, alongside the incoming pension dashboard will have a huge impact on the ongoing issue of lost pensions. Helping people to keep track of pensions from old jobs can have a huge impact on their retirement decision making and really improve outcomes. 'However, these reforms could go even further with the default consolidator model being adapted for a Lifetime Pension model over the longer term. This would enable people to effectively decide which provider receives their pension contributions throughout their career, so they don't move between providers when they change jobs. "This could have a transformative effect on people's retirements and put the member at the centre of the industry. Having their pensions in the same place and watching them grow will really boost their engagement as well as competition across the industry." Ms Morrissey added: "Ensuring a competitive environment will also be key to the pension mega fund reforms. While scale is important in delivering better outcomes for savers, it must not come at the cost of reducing competition, member choice and much needed innovation. This has the ability to drive-up member engagement with their pensions, improve decision making and boost outcomes. "With the changes planned from the advice guidance boundary review and pensions dashboards coming on stream, there's also a big opportunity to transform how we all engage with our pensions. The push for scale shouldn't stifle the innovation that can flow from these regulatory changes.' Nausicaa Delfas, chief executive of the Pensions Regulator, said: 'Making sure all schemes are focused on delivering value for money, helping to stop small, and often forgotten pension pots forming, and guiding savers towards the right retirement products for them, will mean savers benefit from a system fit for the future.'

New State Pension age set to change next year for people with these birthdates
The State Pension age will increase from 66 to 67 between 2026 and 2028. Pension Credit – Could you or someone you know be eligible? The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) is urging people born between certain dates to check when they will be eligible to claim their State Pension using the online tool at The State Pension age is set to start rising from 66 to 67 next year, with the increase due to be completed for all men and women across the UK by 2028. The planned change to the official age of retirement has been in legislation since 2014 with a further State Pension age rise from 67 to 68 set to be implemented between 2044 and 2046. In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the DWP wrote: 'Born between 6 April 1960 and 5 March 1961? Check today to find out what your State Pension age will be.' People born on April 6, 1960 will reach State Pension age of 66 on May 6, 2026 while those born on March 5, 1961 will reach State Pension age of 67 on February 5, 2028. You can check your own State Pension age online here. It's important to be aware of these upcoming changes now, especially if you have a retirement plan in place. Everyone affected by changes to their State Pension age will receive a letter from the DWP well in advance. The Pensions Act 2014 provides for a regular review of the State Pension age, at least once every five years. The review will be based around the idea people should be able to spend a certain proportion of their adult life drawing a State Pension. A review of the planned rise to 68 is due before the end of this decade and had originally been scheduled by the then Conservative government to take place two years after the general election - which would have been 2026. Any review of the State Pension age will take into account life expectancy along with a range of other factors relevant to setting the State Pension age. After the review has reported, the UK Government may then choose to bring forward changes to the State Pension age. However, any proposals would have to go through Parliament before becoming law. Check your State Pension age online Your State Pension age is the earliest age you can start receiving your State Pension. It may be different to the age you can get a workplace or personal pension. Anyone of any age can use the online tool at to check their State Pension age, which can be an essential part of planning your retirement.

State Pension payments 2025/26 Full New State Pension Weekly payment: £230.25 Four-weekly payment: £921 Annual amount: £11,973 Full Basic State Pension Weekly payment: £176.45 Four-weekly payment: £705.80 Annual amount: £9,175 Future State Pension increases The Labour Government has pledged to honour the Triple Lock or the duration of its term and the latest predictions show the following projected annual increases: 2025/26 - 4.1%, he forecast was 4% 2026/27 - 2.5% 2027/28 - 2.5% 2028/29 - 2.5% 2029/30 - 2.5% Recent analysis released by Royal London revealed only around half of people receiving the New State Pension last year were getting the full weekly amount - and around 150,000 were on less than £100 per week. The DWP will issue letters to all 12.9m State Pensioners in March telling them their new payment rates. This letter also encourages older people to check if they are eligible for Pension Credit. State Pension and tax The Personal Allowance will remain frozen at £12,570 over the 2025/26 financial year. The most important thing to be aware of is that people whose sole income is the State Pension will not pay income tax. However, anyone with additional income on top of their State Pension may need to pay tax. This is paid a year in arrears, so if the 2025/26 financial year's uplift takes you over the threshold, you will not receive a tax bill from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) until July 2026. How to get full New State Pension Alice Haine, personal finance analyst at Bestinvest by Evelyn Partners, the online investment platform, said: 'People typically need at least 10 qualifying years of NI (national insurance) contributions to receive any State Pension at all and at least 35 years to receive the full New State Pension - though they don't need to be consecutive years. 'Plugging gaps can be quite an expensive process, so it is important to assess whether you actually need to buy back any missing years. This will depend on how many more years you plan to work, and whether you are eligible for NI tax credits, which fill the gaps, such as those who have been sick, were unemployed or took time out to raise a family or care for elderly relations. 'Plugging gaps in your record is relatively straightforward since the Government rolled out its new NI payments services in April last year - a State Pension forecast tool that has been checked by 3.7m since its launch.' She continued: 'People simply need to log into their personal tax account or the HMRC app to not only view any payment gaps but also check if they can plug those gaps directly through the UK Government's digital channels. 'A short survey assesses the person's suitability to pay online with those eligible to pay directly given a series of options to plug any gaps depending on when someone wants to stop working. 'Calculating whether to top up can be confusing though and ultimately there is no point paying for more years than you need because you won't get that money back.' Ms Haine added: 'People who might need to top up include those that took a career break as well as low earners or expatriates living and working abroad."
