UK records 4,950 excess winter deaths amid cost of living crisis

New official data shows that a significant amount of people lost their lives last winter - and it seems as is a lack of governmental legislation and poor insulation could be to blame.

Stark new figures estimate that some 4,950 excess winter deaths last year in the UK were down to people living in cold and damp homes.

New official data from the End Fuel Poverty Coalition says those figures were recorded during winter 2022/23.

The Warm This Winter study also found that, when the average winter temperature in the UK drops below four degrees centigrade, the level of excess winter deaths sky-rockets.

Nationalise Bulb (don't bail it out)

The government is planning to spend £2.2 billion bailing out private energy company Bulb (which collapsed last year).

Now they want to pay Octopus a further £1 billion to take it over.
