UK v European energy prices, falling excess deaths, and is five grams of cocaine a lot?

Available for over a year

Does the UK really have by far the highest domestic energy bills in Europe? We debunk a viral social media claim suggesting just that. Also the number of excess deaths has been falling in the UK - how positive should we be that we’re through the worst? Plus do we really have access to only 3% of rivers and 8% of the countryside in England – and after the conviction of former MP Jared O’Mara we ask whether 5 grams of cocaine is a lot. Presenter: Tim Harford Series Producer: Jon Bithrey Reporters: Josephine Casserly, Nathan Gower Production Co-ordinator: Brenda Brown Sound Engineer: James Beard Note: The original programme has been updated to remove a reference to a specific right to roam in Scotland from the item about access to the countryside.
