I took a list of UK Parliamentary constituencies and took a while to match each with their International Territorial Levels (the post-Brexit version of NUTS). It’s here as a CSV if you’d like it: https://gist.github.com/conn

On a somewhat related vein, I've had issues with pages timing out on Safari within iOS 16... You might just be onto something there too.
