New: I've published the geographical templates behind the UK cartogram maps shared here recently. There are four geopackage files for MSOAs, local authorities (both lower-tier and upper-tier), and constituencies. All on the @commonslibrary github here: github.com/houseofcommonslib…

NEW video from me & @tomhannen addressing more myths that have been used to play down Covid this winter. Featuring: • Why delays in death registration (& bad charts) wrongly led people to think there was minimal excess mortality • "Excess winter deaths" are not "excess deaths"
