Deaths, taxes and missing cats
We investigate claims about gun crime in London, the size of the UK tax burden, excess deaths during Covid, plus do three cats go missing every second?
Did London see a 2500% increase in gun crime? Are taxes in the UK the highest since the 1950s? Did the UK have high excess deaths from Covid, compared to the rest of Europe? Do three cats go missing every second in the UK?
Tim and the team investigate a few of the numbers in the news.
