The Spin

Left narrative

Britain's excess death rate is at a disastrous high, and the issue far surpasses COVID. Dismal ambulance response times, the NHS staffing crisis, alongside the wider structural issue of social inequality in the middle of a cost-of-living disaster, are all to blame as part of Tory failures. Excess deaths are the result of a broken system pushed by an ideologically crazed government. This could've been avoided.

Guardian

Right narrative

Although many blame the government for the excess deaths and the state of the NHS, in reality, the issue stems from COVID policies that led to long-term damage to the economy and the UK's health services. While anyone who pushed against lockdowns and masks was deemed radical, we are now seeing the results of these policies that were political rather than scientific, and the mainstream media refuses to admit its role in the disaster.
