Now that Covid restrictions are being rolled back, some are declaring victory over the miserable virus. Lockdowns, we are told, worked. Only a fool could argue otherwise. But this misses vital evidence.
Deaths are running high across Europe this winter. But it's not all Covid. As many as half of the excess deaths are from something else. But what?
Winter deaths are usually running high in January, but this year is different. According to the ONS, in the week ending January 14th there were 6.1% fewer deaths than the five-year average. Time to accept it's over.

In this week's episode of London Calling, the topics are the conflict in Ukraine, why Kyiv should be spelt K-I-E-V, Boris's survival prospects and the late-to-the-party lockdown sceptics.
A summary of all the most interesting stories that have appeared about politicians’ efforts to control the virus – and other acts of hubris and folly – not just in Britain, but around the world.
