@t0nyyates Not a good moment to argue the case for import substitution. — PolitiTweet.org

At least the vaccine row might undermine the ‘exports good, imports bad’ view of trade. — PolitiTweet.org

@alanbeattie Doesn't convey a sense of confidence in your contractual rights. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

The difficulty is that 'the vaccines that are foreseen for Europe' by the Commission and the vaccines that AZ has to deliver under the contract with the EU don't appear to amount to the same thing - which is why this is about the banning of exports. — PolitiTweet.org

@faisalislam If there had been another large member state arguing that vaccine procurement should remain a member state competence (as the UK would have done), that argument would almost certainly have prevailed. — PolitiTweet.org

All very sensible. The cost of not doing a deal on plant/food rules is too high. — PolitiTweet.org

@anandMenon1 Yep. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

By the way, why aren’t Labour calling for such a deal? I know they don’t want to talk about Brexit but this would be pro-business and pro-Union and hardly undermines the ‘point of Brexit’ (unless one thought the point of Brexit was to sign up to US food standards). — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

This’d also help UK food producers exporting to the EU. The downside? It might make it more difficult to reach an FTA with the US. But if the UK is seen as reneging on the GFA, such an FTA is out of the question anyway. If the Swiss are willing to do an SPS deal, why not the UK? — PolitiTweet.org

Worth reading whole thread but clear that the Government’s own panel doesn’t think there’s a case for radical reform of JR. — PolitiTweet.org

@TomRHickman Very kind. — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

To be fair, the Government has got a lot a better in not over-promising but all the talk of 'March being a big month', 'bumper weeks' & 'doubling the rates of vaccination' raised expectations which (for whatever reason) look unlikely to be met. Frustrating for us 49 year olds! — PolitiTweet.org

David Gauke @DavidGauke

This now looks unrealistic. At that predicted rate, all over-40s would have been offered first dose by end of March/early April. This now might not happen until May (with increase in 2nd doses in April). Even so, huge progress has been made. — PolitiTweet.org
