Is the failure of the assisted dying bill — after months stuck in the Lords — unconstitutional? I’ve been speaking to some of Britain’s leading constitutional experts for my latest FactCheck: www.channel4.com/news/factche...

These stats don't include the many homes worth over £2m that haven't been sold in the last three years - but they could show us which parts of the country will face this squeeze. (Btw the Isles of Scilly are high up in the list because there were just 8 sales in those years)

NEW: I've crunched the stats and these are the places that could have highest proportion of mansion tax payers after today's #budget. In Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea, more than a quarter of homes sold in the last three years were worth over £2m.

The data also shows significant differences between male and female murder victims. Men are more likely than women to be the victim of homicide. Men are more likely to be killed by a friend or acquaintance. Women are much more likely to be killed by a partner or ex.

020

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

The same data shows that black people are four times more likely than white people to be victims of murder. Of the black people killed last year, more than a third were aged just 16 to 24 at the time of their death.

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 06/02/2025

New data from the Office for National Statistics tells us about murder victims and perpetrators. Perhaps the most shocking finding is that babies under 1 year are the single age group most at risk of homicide. These horrific crimes happen to 20 in every million babies.

All findings are based on the latest release from the Scottish Health Survey 2022, published today. Age group data is from a sample of 2,782 adults. Income data from 465 adults. Health conditions from 1,262 adults. All samples were weighted to reflect wider population. www.gov.scot/publications...

5. Across all age groups (aged 16+), women are 39% more likely than men to be providing unpaid care.

120

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

4. Nearly 30% of women aged 55 to 64 are providing unpaid care. Women in this demographic are nearly 50% more likely to be carers than their male peers.

100

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

3. Women are more likely than men to be unpaid carers - even if they have long term health conditions themselves. Most striking is that among people with a 'non-limiting long-term condition', women were more than twice as likely as men to be carers.

100

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

2. Women in all income quintiles are more likely than their male equivalents to be providing unpaid care. Biggest disparity is among people earning £39-£59k, the second-richest group, where women are 54% more likely to be carers than men.

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

Astonishing data from Scotland today reveals how women are much more likely than men to be providing unpaid care. A thread on what I've found in the official stats: 1. Women aged 25 to 34 are 80% more likely than men of the same age to be unpaid carers.

How many people wait longer than 12 hours on a trolley after doctors have decided to admit them to hospital? In December 2011, this happened to 4 patients in England's NHS. In December 2024, it happened to 54,207 patients.

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

🚨NEW NHS ENGLAND DATA🚨 Nearly 680,000 people waited over four hours in A&E last month - up 30,000 since November. That's more than NINE TIMES higher than in December 2011.

* These elective care figures refer to cases rather than patients as one person might be waiting for two or more treatments (e.g. a hip replacement and cataracts surgery).

010

Georgina Lee @georginalee.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

How many elective care cases* are still waiting for treatment 18 weeks after being referred by a GP? In 2007, when records began under the last Labour government, it was 1.8 million. In 2010, when the Coalition took office, it was 210,000. In the latest stats - October 2024 - it's 3.1 million.

I'd be surprised if that's the main driver. Those levies comprise c10% of energy bills. The bigger factor seems to be wholesale costs, hence the leap around 2022. Over the same 20 years, gas bills have nearly doubled, again suggesting it's primarily wholesale prices on the energy markets to blame.
