Will need to add hypothermia as a result of fuel price rises / as well as deaths due to heat stroke in the next few weeks/ to the mix as well..<derail>
I'm pretty sure Elbows has posted a lot about this in the covid forum, but yes the viable definition is called "excess mortality" and is used in insurance as well as medical reporting e.g.
UK suffers record period of 'excess' mortality
UK mortality has been above 2019 levels for 22 consecutive weeks, which is the longest continuous period of 'excess' deaths recorded in the country since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.www.theactuary.com

Excess mortality during the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19)
Excess mortality is a term used in epidemiology and public health that refers to the number of deaths from all causes during a crisis above and beyond what we would have expected to see under ‘normal’ conditions.1 In this case, we’re interested in how the number of deaths during the COVID-19...ourworldindata.org
As you say though there's not been a huge comparison to other countries - as it's often difficult to correlate differences across geographical populations even within the same country. MD in Private Eye has done a series of excellent articles on the difference, as well as excoriating the government's handling of it (esp. cronyism in track and trace and PPE contracts).
Also as you say, it seems many people don't really care about it though.

I hate 'these days'...
Lest we forget he's also the cunt who stated "New age travellers? Not in this age, not in any age!" and promptly introduced some of the most repressive domestic legislation of the final years of the 20th century.
More likely that a bunch of people got flown out there whilst we were all looking at the unfolding chaos...

Exasperated, not angry.
Naah. It's completely the wrong people, bar Sunak and Gove.
Moggy?? Dont be daft. Why is Javid on the backbench? He should be the Patel character.
And it looks like Iain Duncan Smith leering behind Govey. wtf?

So they deserve an entertaining blood sacrifice.

The problem with that picture isn't just that it's poorly executed with some of the wrong people. The problem is the idea it conveys: that Johnson has been betrayed, like Ceasar.
It's an idea that comes straight from Johnson's brain, via his supporters and through the pages of the Express and the Mail. It's creating a betrayal myth that he hopes to make political use of later on.
He wasn't betrayed; he was dropped because most Tories didn't like him in the first place and only put up with him as he was an election winning machine. As soon as he looked like a loser he was always going to be dropped like a hot potato.
Anyone posting it is naively promoting a Johnson line. It might prompt a quick chuckle, but the alt-right (which Johnson is well aware of) have made plenty of progress by promoting their ideas through lol memes and sharing them is just doing his work for him.

I'm struggling to understand that tweet. There are appears to be no link whatsoever between the first paragraph and the bunch of random words that come after it. Is this some kind of Twitter thing I'm too Web 1.0 to understand?
