BBC's Laura Kuenssberg crushes hope of early lockdown end 'Boris not moving faster'
"It is to some extent an unknown quantity but there will be hopes no doubt in government that the pace of the vaccination will to some extent give them a bit of manoeuvrability when it comes to reaching those dates." Ms Kuenssberg said: "I think that the Government is very unlikely to move faster than the plan they've set out. "The plan they've set out gives these five-week pauses between each stage to see how it was going. "I understand that was insisted upon by Chris Whitty and Downing Street is in no mood to pick a fight with the Government medics and say, 'could we go faster?'"
