JD Wetherspoon is defending opening the first pub on the motorway network in England.
The Hope And Champion at Beaconsfield services on the M40 in Buckinghamshire opens from 9am to 1am.

John Beasley is drugs and alcohol educator for Christian charity Hope UK - he told Premier's Des Busteed on the News Hour why he thinks pubs should be banned from motorways:
Your gift today ensures that Premier Christian News can press forward in strength, reaching more people with biblical truth and shaping the future of Christian thought. It’s more than just a donation—it’s an investment in renewed minds and transformed lives.
Without continued support, the ability to create and distribute resources that strengthen faith and equip the church will be compromised. But with your help, we can grow deeper, stand firmer, and shine brighter in the culture.
Your support today is critical.
