The Prime Minister will also be joined by Chief Medical Officer, Chris Whitty, and Chief Executive of the National Health Service, Sir Simon Stevens. It is not yet clear what Johnson will discuss.
However, the surprise conference comes amid reports of the UK’s Covid-19 vaccine supply becoming at risk, after the EU threatened to impose strict controls on the export of jabs made in the bloc. Brussels issued the warning amid a row with pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca over failing to deliver the promised doses of its vaccine, developed with Oxford University, to the EU.
The EU has now threatened to tighten controls on Covid vaccine exports within days, which could impact the supply of Belgium-made Pfizer-BioNTech jabs coming into the UK.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.
I will only watch the charade of a press conference if BorisJohnson resigns. The free ride that BorisJohnson has been given by the likes of Peston, toryboypierce, MrHarryCole and bbclaurak is shameful.

More lies then?
If he says we're opening up the schools and easing restrictions
Fuck
Don't bother watching it. It will just be me waffling and bumbling along. I'll probably state that I am keeping early years open to help spread the virus to the staff and the families stupid enough to be sending their kids in. Actually, I might not even bother going...

More shite probably saying lockdown until bloody may
He seriously needs to rest before we don’t have a summer at all
