Boris Johnson teams up with Angela Merkel to head off EU Covid vaccine war

The Prime Minister suggested he wants to reach a compromise with European countries — as Germany’s leader ruled out totally blocking British supplies.

But Mrs Merkel is backing a targeted block on AstraZeneca jabs earmarked for Britain.

Hours later the PM risked inflaming the EU vaccines war by telling Tory MPs in a ­private Zoom address “it was greed, my friends” which helped Britain get the jab first.

He was hailing the efforts of “big pharma” in manufacturing the life-saving jab in lightning-quick time.

He later added: “Actually, I regret saying it.”

Boris has spent days pleading with European leaders to abandon their jab export ban threat.

The PM told the No 10 press conference last night: “We don’t believe in blockades of any kind of vaccines.”

Politicians are wrong about what the public want

So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS?  Advertisers website Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics.
