That’s an interesting way of looking at things…

There was a sizeable chunk of the Spanish population that were ready, willing, and able to be vaccinated, but hadn't. Any government can't be held responsible for those that are refusing. Any measure of government success or failure should exclude those who are refusing.
The UK has enough capacity to dish out 3rd booster jabs. Spain was still tackling their 2nd.
In the UK, if only 72% of a certain group, or as low as 60% in London, are prepared to be vaccinated, then overall figures will always reflect that. If in Spain(and other countries) a higher %age are prepared to be vaccinated, then their figures will reflect that.
If 80% of people in England(12 and over) are fully vaccinated, where does the 67% figure actually come from? The 67% figure can only be a result of not applying the same comparison to other countries(eg Spain).
