Re: But, but

The UK spent £11.7 billion on 570 million doses most of which will never be delivered with no penalty to the non-suppliers

The EU spent £2.7billion for 300 million doses all of which are contracted to be delivered.

And you think we got a good deal? The final cost per dose to the UK taxpayers will be over 10 times the cost to EU taxpayers per dose.

Considering the hundreds of billions - and climbing - COVID19 has cost already, do you really think £9billion saving is worth it? That's "fallen down the back of the couch" level money when considered over the whole cost of the pandemic so far, let alone the ongoing costs.
