Matt Hancock denied failure to join EU scheme was ‘political decision’ but ministers urged to reveal details

Ministers are being pressed to reveal the full details of how the government missed out on four opportunities to join an EU medical supplies consortium, in the wake of a U-turn by the top civil servant in the Foreign Office over comments suggesting it was a “political decision”.

The EU has delivered nothing so far. Non story

And the EU scheme has produced how many ventilators so far for those in the scheme? If we'd joined it we wouldn't have pursued other avenues (ones that actually have provided ventilators).

Is there anything the government hasn’t been accused, at least five times a day, of lying about or covering up, since 2010?

UK government accused of cover-up over EU scheme to buy PPE ? Surely the Brexit zealots in Westminster would never put their political ideology before the safety & wellbeing of NHS, front line workers & the public?

Be insightful for the British to know how far their government will go to fail to protect them. BUT they voted for them. You get what you vote for. Her is Oz, the Australians will rue the day they voted Morrison in, especially when they know his plans for the recovery.

Damn, says Trump! 'I will need to dump those shares'!

A ' claim' I prefer facts and evidence why dont the manufacturers of this gear come forward with hard evidence of what is happening..then we may believe these groundless stories... Once again Germany is swift and decisive regarding masks and COVID19 Once again the UK will act two weeks later and deny that it knew about the problem. Just follow Germany, it's much easier...

RAF plane carrying PPE for NHS staff lands in UK from TurkeyThe consignment, said to include 400,000 gowns, was initially meant to arrive on Sunday. Not surprised. Turkey is an administrative nightmare. Chartering a plane to collect stuff would be a colossal task. Much easier to have our RAF speak with theirs to arrange. Lesson learned for all.
