decision friday to invoke part of the brexit deal, an emergency power to potentially introduce checks on the border between northern ireland — part of the uk — and the republicd, in the eu, was incendiary. before the night was over, brussels executed a humiliating u—turn. it highlights, though, something we talked about on this programme last weekend — the risk of vaccine nationalism, particularly at a time when both astrazeneca and pfizer have warned of production delays. jeffrey, was this about securing more vaccines, do you think, or was it more about trying to pacify eu governments after the commission failed to meet its objectives? very clearly, the eu governments are feeling the pressure, looking across the channel here at the uk and seeing the astonishing numbers that have been vaccinated. probably the only thing the uk government has done well. to its credit, the uk government has done well. meanwhile, we are seeing these reports from spain, france, elsewhere that they are running out of vaccines. you can understand the pressure they are feeling. on one hand, this does expose the fundamental problem with the eu that partly inspired brexit, and to be
