Right then … as Ross Clark points out, the claim that 2,700 people were killed by the heat is bollocks. (Technical term)
It was presented as an actual death toll. It wasn’t. It was a modelling exercise and er.… not actual mortality
UKHSA found NO excess mortality during the May heatwave.
And in the 2 published ONS weeks covering most of June’s heatwave, death registrations were actually 918 BELOW expected.
But the hysterical headlines pushed the narrative as if it was fact. As always, question everything.
