And that figure is proved to be down to 'energy poverty' just how?

Office of national Statistics. Published annually.

But that doesn't show how many died early due to energy poverty.

Well known and oft debated situation sometimes referred to as "heat or
eat".

It is never heat or eat because you can always use
an electric blanket and heat and eat at the same time.

Oh ! The 'let them eat cake' of it!

Hint: electricity and food both cost money....

Hint: an electric throw adds almost nothing to the
cost of the food and so there is no OR involved.

I am simply flabbergasted at the total ignorance you display.


The cost of social housing adds nothing to the cost of the NHS, so there
is no OR about it?

Magic money tree thinking I see..
