Starmer’s long established position was to remain in the European Medicines Agency. Several Labour shadow ministers criticised Johnson at the start of the pandemic for remaining outside of the EU vaccine scheme.

The UK was under the remit of the EMA at the time of the vaccine rollout. You are referring to the EU procurement scheme.

Johnson reneged on promises to share the AZ vaccine, after the EU provided vaccines for the UK initial rollout. This caused the initial shortfall in Europe, but that was resolved by the second quarter.

The final upshot to all this was AZ pissed off the EU and they in turn gave preference to other vaccines which pretty much scuppered AZ and the vaccine. The EU is one of the biggest medical regulators and exporters in the world, so giving the UK a preferential contract was not the brightest decision.

Most European countries caught up, and some overtook, the UK on the vaccine rollout despite our head start.

Peston's thread of Tweets is quite a good explanation

Many thanks for this, it has eased my mind somewhat.

My wife and I are about to draw 2 DB pensions next year and for most of today I thought they were gone.

Archived Petition: Call an immediate general election to end the chaos of the current government

Call an immediate general election so that the people can decide who should lead us through the unprecedented crises threatening the UK.

petition.parliament.uk

Nearly there, and a start if you want to have a voice.

Hopefully on everybody’s FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Just like an election, let people have a choice.

Wow, your dog must have been clever. How do you think the deal could have been any better? Given that Brexit is a complete shit show anyway. What exactly do you think Fido could have got that we didn't get? Free Belgian doggy biscuits.

So let's hear it then. How could he have done any better?

Are you serious?

Why not a deal to keep us in a free trade zone from Iceland to the Russian border?
