I'm still waiting to hear contrition from all those who said it was a bad thing that we didn't join the EU procurement programme.

The argument I've heard against the UK going it alone is that we've paid far more per dose - I think £400m in total. I appreciate that's peanuts in the whole Coronavirus spend but if going directly doesn't provide the same vaccinations quicker, then that's £400m we spent unnecessarily.
