On the criticism of the UK for being protectionist, I think that is unfair. Acting quickly to support the development & production of vaccines was the right call. Making sure that the UK got priority access as part of the deal was reasonable - it's what you'd expect. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

My piece for @ConHome where I argue that 1) the UK is not guilty of vaccine protectionism 2) the EU mishandled vaccine procurement and 3) whoever is to blame over vaccines, the row reveals that the EU/UK relationship is not working. /1 https://t.co/YmQBNULpKF — PolitiTweet.org

Blocking manufacturers from exporting doses would constitute vaccine nationalism (which the US and India have done) is protectionist. Contracting to purchase the first doses produced by a manufacturer is not. The deal also accelerated production of the vaccine. /3 — PolitiTweet.org
