The state pension is and always has been taxable. For most people without other income it has been within their personal allowance. The Tories froze the personal allowance in 2022 but pensions continue to increase so eventually they will exceed it and people will have to pay tax. Nothing to do...
Seems an odd complaint. There was very little time wasting and the physios didn’t come on at all. The clock doesn’t stop when the ball goes out of play. 🤷.
