The EU has finally approved the AstraZeneca vaccine, amid a row over whether the pharmaceutical giant broke its vaccine commitments.

However, Nicola Sturgeon has been accused of siding with the EU over vaccinations.
Daniel Sanderson finds that the Scottish First Minister’s excuses over a slower vaccine rollout are “beginning to wear thin”. Fraser Nelson asks “When will Unionists realise that Sturgeon is far from invincible?” To Ross Clark, our freedom hinges on “whether tomorrow’s vaccines can crush new variants” of the coronavirus.
