@TiceRichard Cold-related deaths are still published by UKHSA Dickie.
UKHSA published its Cold Mortality Monitoring Report for winter 2024/25, explicitly estimating deaths associated with cold episodes.
ONS discontinued the series because of methodological limitations so no conspiracy.
@PaulBCassidy@danny__kruger Trade union reps deal with workplace issues: safety, grievances, redundancies & disputes. That work benefits employers too by resolving problems at work. Facility time exists precisely because representation is part of workplace relations, not a private hobby. But enjoy your golf
@PaulBCassidy@danny__kruger A trade union represents workers collectively in pay, safety and employment disputes, and is regulated by law.
A golf club exists to provide leisure facilities to its members.
Calling both “private interest groups” doesn’t make the comparison meaningful.
