You asked
On 5th February 2020 you published an easy to understand table at Deaths in the UK from 1990 to 2020 - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk) Has this been updated since? If not, would it be possible to obtain a table of the yearly death rates each year in the UK, adjusted exactly as the previous table, but extended by the last 2 years, thus covering the years 1990 up until the end of December 2022?
