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.

It’s a picturesque New England Winter scene
out there; and in here, with the cat curled
asleep on my lap.
I write by light of BBC News (muted),
when the tv gets bright enough to see
me making green pen streaks on the
white blank page.
I ignore the stories of raging discontent,
dis-association of societies,
a seeming mad panic.
It is a dark and quiet Winter night,
unfit for battle, or bitter dreaming.
The best of "snow photos" in my neighborhood yesterday.
Some may call it a "dusting". But it's the first snow I've seen in NY for a few years. (We've become a 'semi-tropical island'!)
Dark and not a pretty day, but some of the tree/planter displays were sort of nice. (When you get lemons... 'lemonade!)
Not that I'm longing for our old-fashioned blizzards like we used to see.
Here are some more wintery, "classic" images of Central Park in Winter White.
#Winter, oder was?
Also entspannt ein paar #Experimente mit der neuen #Edelstahlkugel gemacht.
Wirkt vielversprechend, wie ich finde😃
Close to 4pm. Weather's serious about it now. Fierce rain, more ice than water. A few people rushing through the office yard for the tramway. A few young guys apparently gave up on that, sitting in a large meeting room some floors below, watching obscure video clips on their laptops. A cold and windy grey encompasses everything.

Too pretty to pass up
But I'll still use my hashtag.
