  • Why we don’t endorse Tesco as a place to shop - and why that could change
    Feb 27 2026

    Whether or not you shop at Tesco, you’ll probably know about its Clubcard membership scheme. In recent years, the programme has given users access to lower prices - that is if you’re aged 18 or over. We think that’s wrong.

    In this episode, Which? senior researcher Ellie Simmonds joins us to analyse the news that, after years of our campaigning, Tesco is looking to remove the age restriction that has barred under-18s from accessing loyalty prices. We’ve twice withheld Which? Recommended Provider status from Tesco over this issue.

    Plus, our annual survey of the best and worst supermarkets has just dropped, so we reveal who the winners and losers are for in-store and online shopping.

  • Are you getting the most out of your car insurance policy?
    Feb 25 2026

    With accidental damage making up nearly half of all car insurance claims, do you know what your policy actually covers you for?

    In this episode of Which? Shorts, we reveal the providers and policies we recommend after teaming our in-depth research with feedback from real-life policy-holders.

    Plus, with the recent rise of self-described ‘essentials’ policies, we explain why we've had our doubts about how much cover they really offer.

  • What does the future hold for the state pension?
    Feb 23 2026

    The principle behind the state pension is simple: that most people will get a regular payment from the government to help fund their retirement once they reach a certain age. But the decisions that need to be made about its future are more complicated.

    In the third episode of our four-part podcast series, we look at what determines the amount of state pension you get and how you could boost your payments - plus how the growing cost to the government could change the way the system works in future.

    Which? Money editor Jenny Ross is joined by experts from across the industry, as well as people at different stages of retirement planning.

    The final episode in the series will be released next Monday.

  • Are you saving enough for retirement?
    Feb 16 2026

    Recent research from pension company Standard Life found that almost half of UK adults don’t know how much is in their pension. Even if you do know exactly how much you’ve saved so far, the bigger challenge is gauging how much you’ll eventually need.

    In the second episode of our four-part podcast series, we discuss the three retirement living standards set by Pensions UK to give you an idea of how much you can expect to spend over the course of a year.

    We also look at how much you might need in your pension to reach these annual incomes, as well as what you can do to boost your retirement savings, whatever your age.

    Which? Money editor Jenny Ross is joined by experts from across the industry, as well as people at different stages of retirement planning.

    The remaining episodes in the series will be released weekly on Mondays.
