Any regrets or even an apology from Ross Clark considering it was his article and use of #FakeStatoGuy 's fake chart that caused all this?

Full Fact Ross Clark Here's the chart as published by Mail+ and created by Jon O'Donnell (@Stat_O_Guy) for Ross Clark, with clarifications by @PoliticalASA and myself.
And note Full Fact it was a week 44 chart, not 45. They replaced wk44 chart in wk46 but with wk45 data, not the latest.

The Mail used a misleading chart to give the false impression that weekly deaths were 'barely any higher' than in previous years.

A_thankless_task Philip Montgomery James Neill ξ¨ β π Full Fact Ross Clark Mail+ The Statistics Lie, Jon FakeStatOGuy is a civil servant who freelanced that graph for the Daily Fail
I'm assuming one of the two journos who put their name to the story saw FakeStatOGuy's graph on social media & thought it would be a good graph to include in their story as 'evidence'
