Britain's biggest pub chain has revealed it's in talks to reopen hundreds of branches across the UK. JD Wetherspoon bosses have started work on a reopening structure, that could see pubs and hotels back in business "in or around June".
It comes more than a month after boss Tim Martin agreed to close all branches in line with Government lockdown orders. More than 40,000 workers were placed on the Government's jobs retentions scheme, though Brexiteer Martin refused to pay his staff without unfront Government funding.
In a controversial video, Martin said workers should 'go and work at Tesco instead' - as he u-turned on a 'generous pay package' for all workers.
