Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab accused the EU of “brinkmanship” and warned it not to block the export of coronavirus vaccines after a threat from European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen. He warned that the “world’s watching” as he suggested the bloc was acting like a “less democratic” regime and that its threat would break direct assurances it had given Britain. The European Commission president issued the threat on Wednesday as she continues to be embroiled in a row over supply of the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab and faces pressure over rollout delays. She criticised the British-Swedish firm for having “underproduced and underdelivered” and said the EU will consider halting vaccine exports to countries with higher coverage rates than its own, as it struggles to achieve the pace of rollout managed in the UK.
