EU vaccine row: Gove 'confident' programme will continue as planned
Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove said the Government expects coronavirus vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and AstraZeneca to be supplied to the UK, after a discussion with the EU chief.He told reporters: “The Prime Minister was very clear, we’ve entered into contractual arrangements with AstraZeneca and Pfizer and we expect those arrangements to be honoured.“And President von der Leyen was clear that she understood exactly the UK Government’s position so we expect that those contracts will be honoured, we expect that vaccines will continue to be supplied.“Of course we will work with them (the EU) in order to make sure that their own problems can be tackled.“Our first priority is vaccinating people in the United Kingdom, but we also want to work with our friends and neighbours in the European Union in order to help them as well.”
Michael Gove says allegations Conservative candidates carried out bets on the date of the general election are "far from ideal" and "deeply regrettable". The housing secretary adds that he hopes "in the fullness of time people find forgiveness". Report by Brooksl.

Michael Gove says, "you've got to believe you can win", the general election, even if the chances are "slimmer". The levelling-up secretary adds Labour's leadership has driven Birmingham City Council "to the brink of bankrupcy" and is a "test case of the difference between Conservative and Labour policies".

Sir Ed Davey has reacted to the news that Michael Gove has stood down as an MP ahead of the election, saying: "It's very interesting that a lot of senior Tories in seats that we think we can win are standing down. I think they've seen both the local election results where we're doing really well in those areas and they're seeing the fact that lots of former Conservatives are switching to the Liberal Democrats."
