Yeah that's not a good move there, had they moved faster and more flexible then a mass buy would be good.
Pretty annoying as brexit is a predictable shitshow otherwise, so they will just use this to hide the damage.
Like some patients no longer getting specialised cannabis meds from the Netherlands, cos the UK government left it all waaaaay too late to negotiate something. (Hopefully if gets sorted before meds run out)

Yep. If the vaccination plan is a success it will probably save Boris Johnson too, which is incredibly frustrating, especially when the UK's vaccine savvy (or supply at least) is actually all down to the much maligned Kate Bingham.

I think it is mandatory or they at least all signed up for it, that's why you now have Ursula von der Leyen making it clear that it is legally binding and countries should not be undertaking parallel negotiations for vaccine delivery (Germany) which is a breach of the terms. and in bad faith. Was a good piece on it last night on Newsnight. Seems the EU have blundered on this, they turned down an offer from Pfizer for 500m doses at the time the UK was approving it, then went back and placed an order for 200m and another later for 100m but were now much further down the queue and will be delayed in receiving doses.
