We could only approve this vaccine so quickly because we have left the EU. Last month we changed the regulations so a vaccine did not need EU approval which is slower.
Whether you are left wing, right wing or (like me) somewhere in the middle, the above is a lie. It is a lie made for political purposes, and  - I think - is an insult to the brilliance of our scientists who work co-operatively with global colleagues.
