Brexit news: EU says AstraZeneca will supply extra 9m jabs but France & Germany threaten sanctions

ASTRAZENECA will supply the EU with an additional 9 million Covid vaccines after Boris Johnson saved the UK’s jab rollout from derailing. The PM saved the UK’s vaccine rollout during a series of late-night calls with the president of the European Commission. Mr Johnson forced the bloc to back down on its bid to stop jab supplies reaching Britain. Boris reportedly clinched victory after giving a grave warning that blocking jabs would result in the deaths of British grandparents. Ms von der Leyen  ditched plans to stop 3.5million doses of the Pfizer jab from reaching the UK  after the fiery talks. Meanwhile, International Trade Secretary Liz Truss is set to speak to officials in Japan and New Zealand on Monday to formally make the request, with negotiations expected to commence this year. The Government says joining the partnership would deepen ties with fast-growing economies, including Mexico, Malaysia and Vietnam. Follow our live blog below for the very lat

Wrong Again Reeves’ Disastrous Broadcast Round

Image
Despite Labour saying they would “ always follow the scientific advice ” on vaccinations, Rachel Reeves was tasked with this morning with defending a policy that the JCVI have expressly warned against, using a justification that the ONS has rubbished. And Guido thought things couldn’t get worse after sidestepping Labour’s support for the EU vaccine scheme this morning… After being told by Andrew Marr that the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has said no occupation prioritisation should take place during Phase 1 of the rollout, Reeves either pretended to not know what the JCVI’s Phase 1 vaccination plan is, or was just generally clueless. Guido isn’t sure which is worse. The JCVI explains Phase 1 is made of nine cohorts , which account for 99% of Covid deaths. The advice states that “the first priorities for the current COVID-19 vaccination programme should be the prevention of COVID-19 mortality and the protection of health and social care staff and systems”
